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 own the CA 751BD and IMO, it is a wonderful player.  Well built, nice interface, fast loading, so far very reliable.  The newer 752 is pretty close to the same as the 751 but it can also be used as an outboard DAC.

Of course you could also go with an Oppo 105.

" I'm not 100% sure here but from what i was told by the Cambridge dealer the cambridge is basicaly an Oppo BD 105 inside the Cambridge chasis with some slight mods to the analog output. if this is true then your only real dissision between the two would be buying from an online store (Oppo) or a local dealer for the Cambridge."

I think this has been covered many times before but both the CA 752BD and Oppo 103/105 are built on the same MediaTek foundation.

CA and Oppo both use the Mediatek chipsets.
