Hi Steffen,

exacly - I wanted to keep THAT debate out of this thread - if possible 😂

But I do think that Jeff did understand that too.

You do know that  Cambridge's top models blu ray player is built on Oppo right*? 👍

But just so I understand it quite right. You Want example an oppo-103 owner to swap it out with a Cambrigde?

I'll have the OPPO-103 with my Bv8-40 and it isan amazing machine and i love it...Especially after the latest update.

But eny way 😁

Hi situation,

OF COURSE I do know that the CA's are built on the OPPO's - they almost always were!

What makes the CA's different is the audio section. Cambridge - again as always - uses different DAC's (look for further info at their website) which includes upsampling to max 192 kHz for ALL audio content.

The OPPO's does not upsample and outputs in 88.2/176.4 kHz if native.

The 'new engine' in the V1/BV11/BSys3 does not support this - the BV7/BSys3 and your BV8-40 (and mine) does.

That was my point:

Either Bang & Olufsen gets this mess straightened out through a SW update or a new DAC in the newer video products....

....or we will have to use the upsampling facility of the CA instead of using the OPPO 😳

NOTE: not every one will have this problem - it is only if you are trying to/wanting to play content in 88.2/176.4 kHz such as SACD or highres audio files!

Just to your understanding.

Eny way - OPPO 103 is the king!

And the CA 752 too 😎

how much can your and my BV8-40 take? For example 24bit 192kHz is that something it can take? and when I play a bluray on my oppo and it's DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby True-HD what bit en Khz do i then get? 

And now as we speak im hear one of my K2HD CDs with Mariah Carey and its say's placed under Features one the website that it is 24bit and 100kHz. but on the screen it says 16bit 44.1kHz instead? Why?

96khz works well on mine. But since I rip CD's, I feed them 16bit at 44,1khz.  They seem to like that just fine. And me too.

The original master may be 24/100 or some such, but if it's delivered on a CD what you have is 16/44.1, that's what all CDs are. The only physical discs that are higher are SACD, DVD-A, and BluRay audio. 

Ohhh okey :-) thanks

A BV8-40 (or any BV) does not support HD sound formats played ad bitstream from the OPPO.

You must let the OPPO do the decoding (to LPCM) first - otherweise the BV-40 will reencode the audio to DD before decoding to analog.

The HD formats supports a maximum of 192 kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit depth samples from 2 to 5.1 channels, and 96 kHz/24bit resolution up to 7.1 channels.

Since the BV-40 'only' supports 5.1 channels the maximum you will get is 24/96.

The BV8-40 has no problems with a LPCM stream in 24/96.
