Denon "Universal Blue-ray" DVD-A1UDCi, $4,500


There you do, newest just came out from Denon DVD-A1-UDci.
Is this a steroid model from Denon DVD-3800BDci, $2K? It'll read SACD, CD, and BLue-ray, nice! Also, Oppo has one too, BDP-83 for $500. Are these the only first 2 universal player up to date? How much longer Krell, Ayre, and many other hi-end companies will come out with one?

I'm not into Home Theater or Blue-ray just yet but thought I'd share the info, I'm sure this is an old news to s/o.

Here are my reviews of the Oppo BDP-83 vs my older audiophile CDPs:

I'm not a videophile so I'll just say that it is very highly regarded for both BD and DVD video display.
I bought the Oppo BDP-83 for $500 about a month ago and am very happy with it. The stereo analog outputs sound very very good for both RB and SACD. Plus it automatically down-mixes MCH content out these RCA jacks. Eventually I'll have it modded. For now, I'm very happy with it's audio capabilities.
