what did I do to my Oppo/Modwright UDP-205 ?

Like a real fool I unplugged my new umbilical cord I just got from wywires because I was hearing static (I thought it was the new cord) and then plugged it back in with the power supply still on! a few seconds later a loud pop and what looked like a flash, the Oppo still played so I thought I was safe but NO! now I am getting the same pop as the music plays what did I do?

Dan told me not to have the either unit powered up while the umbilicle is not connected. I thought mine was connected but it wasn’t securely connected.

Don't get down on yourself.

I tried arc welding with a Bryston ... mistakes happen to everyone. Everyone except those with short memories, that is.

You will likely have to send both the power supply and the Oppo back to Dan.  When you unplug the umbilical and then re-plug.  When the metal contacts make a connection when you plug it in, it will create a spark/short.  That spark/inrush can damage something in the Oppo tube circuit as well.  So, yeah, never a good idea to disconnect/connect live DC power cords on electronic equipment.
