I have an Oppo BDP-83SE and a Denon AVR 2312CI and want to try something but am having an issue that I hope someone can help with. The Denon AVR does not have multichannel analog inputs so I connect the two with HDMI and use the Denon's DACs for playback of anything coming from the Oppo. However, I would like to try using the Oppo's DACs for stereo sources such as stereo SACDs, because I believe they are superior to the Denon DACs. I connected the stereo analog out from the Oppo to the CD stereo analog in on my Denon, and when I choose this input in the Denon and try and play an SACD, it plays intermittently with stops and starts. I think it is trying to make an HDMI handshake or something. Is there a setting in either the Oppo or the Denon that would allow for the smooth transfer of stereo analog out without having to disconnect the HDMI cable every time I want to listen to a stereo source? Or am I stuck using HDMI connection (and therefore the Denon stereo DACs) exclusively?
I figure this must have been covered somewhere but I did a search and could not find anything. Thanks!
