Hi,
I think if you have HDMI connected, then the Oppo will only send 2-channel PCM to the Sherwood, which may not let you switch that to DPLII.
One alternative for CD playback would be to use an optical or digital coaxial connection to a different input on the Sherwood and then set the Oppo to RAW or bitstream. Use that input for playing CDs, so the Oppo will just send the 2-channel digital signal to the Sherwood, then you could choose stereo or DPLII for CD playback. But you'd have to remember to re-set the Oppo to PCM for HDMI playback, otherwise, it will send a Dolby Digital 5.1 downmix via the optical/coaxial cable to your Sherwood.
This may drive me to drink!
Regards,
Alan
