. . . and I finally got a pair!

Very cool. I still do and I will try this. No firmware updates have shown up in a while in the Sonica app.

Yes, this hits the nail on the head! Oppo Digital unfortunately probably had to deal with all the problems of very small companies and very large companies at the same time.

The company that makes the mobile phones, Oppo Electronics, is a different company than the one that makes head-fi and Blu-ray players, Oppo Digital. Oppo Electronics is an extremely large company headquartered in China, while Oppo Digital is a very small company headquartered in the U.S.

Well, different in the way that T-Mobile is owned by Deutsch Telecom. Some common ownership, but different companies with different products, strategies, markets, personnel, C-level employees, and incorporated in different countries. Even more different than that, though, as Oppo Digital is a...

The company Oppo Digital is a wholly different entity than the Oppo mobile phone company. Oppo Digital is an American company (headquartered in Silicon Valley) that designs and develops its products in the US, albeit with manufacturing done by OEM partners in China and the Phillipines.

Wow, that is a shock.

It makes perfect sense to me. The Oppo BDP’s are not part of the Sonica ecosystem, and are not competing with Roon as Sonica is. I am not sure if the BDP’s are officially certified as “Roon ready” anyway—although obviously they are working with Roon now. As far as MQA support, I do not...

I can see that some people might want to use the Sonica DAC as a Roon endpoint, but that is not the Sonica DAC’s purpose. Rather, the Sonica DAC becomes part of Oppo’s Sonica ecosystem and integrates over WiFi with other Sonica products, all controlled by the Sonica app. In a way, Roon and...

Great, looks like it is back in stock at Oppo UK!

My information is not wrong. I provided the information people in the thread asked for, and provided the solution they were requesting. In two weeks Oppo will have the cable back in stock.

When it’s back in stock I will.

My information is from someone intimately familiar with OTG and the HA-2. I posted the facts and the reason why OTG was designed to draw power from accessories, and the type of cable that will not transmit power from the phone. The cable will be back in stock at Oppo in two weeks. If you can...

Given the information I posted above, the fix is simple. If you can wait two weeks, Oppo will have the cable back in stock.

I heard back from Oppo regarding the OTG cable charging issue. It’s not a problem with the HA-2/SE or the Galaxy Note 8 or any other kind of Android phone. Rather, it is a feature of the OTG specification that requires a workaround. Standard OTG cables are configured to send power to...
