Blu ray and SACD


I am in the process of purchasing a Blu ray player and I would like to know whether any Blu ray player will play SACD in its true format as it was meant to be played (not just because it is compatible). In addition, if I need to purchase a special Blu ray to play SACD's then which would you recommend?

I agree with Drjoe.
The Oppo BDP-83. It plays formats including SACD.
The outputs are HDMI 1.3 all audio formats and video, Analog 7.1 & 5.1 for SACD DSD and PCM, DVD-A, HDDTS & HDDD. It has 2 channel analog output for all the above & CD. It also has optical and coax output but not for Hi Res audio. Composite & componant video out as well as an Ethernet & USB port. This player does it all and the picture is very very good. If you want RS232 control you can order it as an add on. I replace a Marantz 6400 SACD & Sony S500 BR player, the Oppo smoked both of them. I could not be happied. The only thing I do not like is the CD audio but I will get it modded at a later date. This unit is a bargin at 499.00.
