Vanity93

High resolution digital output module for Oppo BDP-93

The launch of Vanity - our high resolution digital output module - in 2006 enabled all audiophiles owning a stand-alone external digital to analogue converter to play back high resolution material in full digital quality. With the onset of the Blu-ray format, developments of digital home theatre and the spread of multi-channel recordings, it was becoming ever more apparent that a good signal source for fully digital multi-channel amplifiers and high-end rigs was absent on the market.

This has been true - up to now!

The Vanity93 continues the product range started by its two-channel predecessor designed for universal DVD players. It enables to turn the Oppo BDP-93 player into an eight-channel high-end digital transport. This player is highly praised for its versatility, reliability and ease of upgrading its output circuit boards. The Vanity93 is an add-on module that can simply replace the analogue output circuit boards of the BDP-93 with full resolution digital outputs.
