RE: Toshiba SD9200 DVD/CD player

Posted by Jonesy on April 29, 2025 at 14:24:59:
If you are using the Toshiba as a transport only, via either the optical or coax out, it only sends data to the DAC. A remote would have no affect on the volume.

Your Geshelli J2 DAC has 3 adjustable output levels according to the manual. If you haven't tried yet, you may be able to lower the output closer to match that of your vinyl playback.

There are some nice units kindly recommended by other posters that may be better, with or without mods. Unfortunately I am not familiar your Toshiba.

While exploring possibilities, you may want to experiment with coax vs toslink cables. Sometimes one may work better than the other and opposite in fact to what is expected in theory. I have found cheap non digital regular coax topping a list of choices at times. Go figure.
