Okay, so doing a little bit of research, the following universals use that chip:

Pioneer 563
Denon DVD-2200
2910

...can't seem to find what chip the Oppos use. And while looking around for that, discovered this thing called the Helios H4000...argh! I'm going to start my own thread...

The Yamaha C950 might use BB.

The Oppos use Cirrus Logic chips which are 192/24 PCM-based DACs. As far as I can tell, they don't have native support for DSD. The Burr-Brown is also a 192/24 PCM DAC, but it can natively decode the 1-bit DSD signal on the same chip.

Which is exactly what I'm looking for. My entry level Sony player (SCD-CE775) decodes natively, and I think I prefer that sound, so I'm going to use that criteria to pare down my choices. (See other thread.)

If so, good to know.

Dusty, I too have the SCD-CE775. Have you had any mods do on yours? I considered it but was too cheap to spring the cost.

[Dusty Chalk]

No, mine is factory. And on SACD, I am quite pleased with the sound.

Sorry fellas, that was supposed to be a link to the Denon 5910.
