blu-ray/cd/sacd player with EQ or tone controls? Any recommendations please?


Audiogon friends -
I have a relatively large collection of CDs, SACDs, Blu-ray Audio and a few HDCDs. When my lovely Oppo died out of warranty, i bought a Yamaha BD-A1060 blu-ray player. The Yam plays all my CDs, HDCDs, SACDs and blu-ray and is surprisingly very close to the Oppo i had in sound quality.

However, my preamp/amp stack is a purist piece with no tone controls. The Yamaha does not have any either. Are there any bluray/cd players out there that have any EQ/tone controls/etc in the digital domain? It would really help since i am limited to crappy recordings from many of my favorite artists.

Thank you,
- William

@erik_squires , the yam has output stages balanced after the DAC. I run it with xlr to a true balanced preamp & power amp. I'd rather not deal with the Shiit Loki in the middle.  Is there a blu-ray/sacd player that may have eq, tone controls etc in the digital domain (you may know of)?
@erik_squires minidsp seems like the best option thus far...especially since every bluray player i read up on all last night is not as versatile as the yamaha?! All the other stuff is aimed at the videophiles and not the audiophile. GO YAMAHA, I, HEREBY, SUBMIT TO THY GREATNESS!

p.s. it's a shame Oppo went under though. You should look at the asking prices from the vultures on the used market.
