Denon Universal

IMHO, I would get a separate player for Blu-ray/DVD and a separate player for dvd/Sacd. I've never been a fan of mixing audio/video in one box. You can get an excellent blu-ray/DVD player for under $300 (Panny BD35). Use the balance of your budget on a top quality audio player. Just my .02

Oppo is apparently working on one, I wasn't too thrilled with their 981 HD (just sold it on craigslist) but if the price is right I may get this for my living room system as I don't play much audio and it will certainly see use for DVD and Blu-Ray.

The model number is Denon DVD-A1UD.

The new Denon Blu Ray will be listed at 3800.00. It is on the front page at avs forum

I read somewhere that the new Denon universal is expected to retail over $5k, if that's important.

Mlawitm, do you know the model# of the new Denon player?
I have been waiting for that to replace my 5910ci. I really want to do blu ray but wanted to use one player that does it all.

I need an SACD player/redbook and I need a Blu Ray player. I also know that people that have modded the previous Denon players ie 3910 have had great success. Wich brings me back to my original question.

Long term I would go with a High quality Redbook player..Then maybe pick up a cheap used SACD ( if you feel the need )player in the used market...That would be my priority anyway.....
