High Quality Universal Player??


I’m interested in a disc player for CD, SACD, and cinema DVDs, Blue-Ray.

It MUST have equal or better sound quality than my current Cal Audio HDCD player.

Ideas? How about the Cambridge Audio Azur 651BD Universal Blu-ray/SACD/DVD/CD Player?

or the newer 751? Also, what is the difference between the 751 and 651?

I’d laos like to buy form a company large enough to stay in business for a while :)

I've had Universal Players through the years from Marantz, Denon, Oppo, and NAD.
  My advice would be to have a really good DAC for CD.  There are at least 2 DACs that have HDMI inputs which you could use with a BD player for SACD and Blu Ray (NAD and Bryston ), or failing that I would probably go with the Oppo 105.  Marantz players and amps tend to roll off the top end.
  If you were to tell us budget it would be easier to guide you

Are you using the Oppo as a DAC?  Or are you attempting to have your PC communicate wirelessly as the 103.
  Also--do you have a monitor connected to the Oppo?
