Uh won’t work on the DS DAC. PS Audio uses a proprietary HDMI setup and TMK only the DMP drive will handshake with it unless there is a third party product I’m not aware of. The pin structure is different than standard HDMI. If any question I would contact PS Audio Customer Service Dept.

PS Audio has their own cable, yes. But there are better. Many, including me, use the WW Platimum 7 HDMI and love it.

My point being there cable allows you use the Oppo as a SACD transport to the DirectStream dac

The HDMI connector on the DS DAC and DS Mem Transport is merely using HDMI as a connector. The protocol is I2S and there is an encryption protocol between the transport and player which allows them to send DSD using the DOP format over the I2S protocol. The Oppo HDMI output conforms to the standard HDMI protocol. I know. Quite a mouthful. But years before PS Audio even conceived of the DS memory transport, I recall Ted experimented with a third party board - VanityPraise? Or something which was installed in an Oppo player (103 if I recall correctly) It MODIFIED the Oppo’s HDMI output to split audio and video. Then if it encountered DSD it would package the DSD IN DOP Format and sent it out via a coax output (not the coax normally found on the Oppo). In fact it had 3 coax output to support multichannel 5.1 PCM or DSD. THIS was the basis of the memory transport with some modified digital lens circuit added.

Having owned the D1100 and now the DirectStream with Snowmass I can tell you get the DirectStream absolutely amazing Talk to Ivan I’m sure he will make you a good deal . Mine was part of a trade I made with Lars on my Elipsa speakers. One thing I’m probably going to get is the network card. If I was ordering one now I would get the network card which negates the need for one cable and displays album art work on the front screen, this way your Roon Server can be anywhere.
