Are there any more good multi format disc players out there?

I miss the old days, circa 2007. I miss my great sounding multi channel Marantz disc player the UD7007, and the way it played dvd-audio, SACDs, and redbook convincingly. I have a lot of multi channel SACDs and dvd-a that I can’t listen to because my current player only does two channel. Does anyone know of any new players marketed for that same purpose, or do I need to get with the times, buy a streamer and admit defeat? I understand that not all multi channel audio was good, but a lot still is, and having the option to play it—in high resolution two channel as well—was terrific.

I still have the Marantz, but I was told it wasn’t worth repairing. Maybe it is after all. Maybe something on the used marketplace?

Anyone have any suggestions?

I would certainly get a repair estimate before buying something else.

how close was a 2006 to the 2007?

 

 

you could find out if your 2007 remote will work on 2006?

or, buy this remote

 

they hold their value, complete laser assemblys are available

 

 

It is not easy finding a SACD/CD player that you think sounds terrific. I will repair or replace my Sony xa5400es without hesitation. It doesn’t do all the formats you want.
