Add I2s to Oppo players?

There used to be a company offering multi-channel S/PDIF outputs from Oppo players, but I have no idea if they are still in business.  Don't remember I2S being an option however. 

I don’t get it.  You’ve already got a “China box” in the Venus but don’t want another one to convert to i2S?  Seems pretty hypocritical to me.  I’d say just get a Denafrips Hermes and be done with it. I use an Iris to get i2S to my DAC and it was a significant improvement, and the Hermes should be better still.  Plus, trying to retrofit i2S to an Oppo could end up being fraught with problems/compatibility issues if it’s even possible.  Take the easy route that’s already been provided for you by the manufacturer of your DAC.

I do not like the idea of using a box to convert the HDMI from the OPPO to I2s. And it does not lite the DSD on the Venus II. Denafrips says there is a problem with the conversion. I cant go HDMI straight from OPPO to Denafrips, I am told I may damage the Venus II . The I2s lite does illuminate, but not DSD. It sounds great, but if I ever want to stream at the higher rates from a computer I will use USB of course. I just don't like the idea of a $40 Chinese box between the Oppo and Venus II. As OPPO does not makes the universal players anymore something might wear out. As good as it is, and my player was N.O.S. when I bought 2 years ago I pray it will be ok. It gets its AC from a PS Audio Power Plant 15.

I use the D.BOB to convert DSD from my OPPO (a real cheap one).  The DSD goes into my Schitt Yggi+ DAC via SPDIF. It sounds amazing.

The Yggi DAC is way better than what is in the OPPO. The Venus DAC is better than the OPPOs. However, I am not sure if the Venus will work with the D.BOB. It works with my Benchmark DAC3B and the Yggi.

I am not sure if you can take HDMI and get the pure DSD out of I2S.
