Rega DAC problems

Did you try a coax connection for troubleshooting purposes?

No, not yet. The Oppo is too far away from the Rega for my vintage 1-meter Audioquest digital cable.
I may have some time over Thanksgiving to play with it.
You would think that if the Toslink can't support 24/192 that it (the Rega) would downshift to 24/96 or 16/96?

Well, I tried moving the Oppo closer to the Rega and hooked up with an RCA connector.
I think I'm hearing better sound with the Yes BluRay (original stereo mixes @ 24/192, 2013 mixes @ 24/96)
but the Rega LED always shows 16/44.
I've checked all Oppo audio settings and don't think this is the problem.
This is so frustrating.

The higher sampling rates sound smoother and require a volume boost (usually play @ volume "60" BluRay required "75" for equal loudness.

Mr. MoFi: I can't find the passage about Toslink in my manual.
Does Rega think they've worked this out by now?
FYI: I purchased my DAC in the last 6 months.

If anyone has a Rega that shows a 96 or 192 data lock,
please drop me a note. -Thanks

I came across this post recently and experienced the same things with Blu Ray Audio Discs running into my Rega DAC. I had it explained to me that it is a copyright protection issue with Blu Ray and will only output CD quality through the digital outs (coax and optical).

tune_man: Thanks. I guess it was too much trouble for Rega to note this somewhere. Looking forward to MQA.
