Finding the ultimate universal player
Im looking for a universal disc player with a very specific set of features but haven't quite found one that has it all. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for a model that will do the trick:
blu-ray, dvd, sacd, cd player
can be used as stand-alone DAC or transport (at least for sacd and cd)
balanced (xlr) analog stereo outputs
built like a tank
$4-$6k new
Will be feeding Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 integrated amp and JMLab Micro Utopia Be monitors w/Sunfire sub. Cables to be determined.
