There's also the Sony UBP-X700 and what might be the Oppo-killer: Reavon UBR-X110 at $999. If you want to listen to DSD off SACDs, and hi-res PCM off other discs through an external DAC, then you need a GeerFab Audio D.BOB www.geerfabaudio.com, available at the major US dealers. I invented it because I was dissatisfied with the internal DACs of players.
Current Universal Players
Hey folks- Does anyone know if there are any high end universal players being made anymore (i.e. EMM Labs, DCS, Esoteric, etc. etc)? I know it's no longer in vogue but I would like to be able to play cd's, sacd's, dvd-a's and hdcd's. I'm sure that's asking a lot but there it is. I've seen players that are 15-18 years old but I would like something a little bit newer. Any thoughts? Thanks.
