I had certainly looked at the Oppo 103. For some reason, was under the impression the 103 does NOT play SACD over HDMI. Need to go back and double check. In certain DOES have an HDMI IN (and 2 out).
Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
I wanted to 'try' SACD and finally (I now have 3 additional player now and hand, bought before getting deeper in that stuff) have one that actually plays SACD.
And I must say I LIKE IT (the Dark Side of Moon REALLY convinced me to add this format to my portfolio).
So now I would like a player (still needs to be LOW cost in common terms and SUPER CHEAP in Audiogon currency) that has a bit more 'heft'. The one I use now is just a pound of plastic, and smaller format than any other equipment. But worst: it has NO DISPLAY so I have a PC monitor on top to even use it (Sony UBP-X700).
So SACD, DVD, CD, Bluray, remote, display. And SACD over HDMI (not component output), around $300 (but certainly under $500). Used is fine.
Does it exist?

@elliottbnewcombjr how does the OPPO DV-980H on ebay compare with the Oppo 103 I ordered? May need a 2nd SACD (non video, so 4k no concern) for the 2nd system. |
@mahler123 Out of my budget (lowest start at $800). |
@elliottbnewcombjr Was the Oppo 103 amoung the 9 you tested and compared?

@elliottbnewcombjr I have a Oppo 103 on the way and will try it. Since it will be in my main system, it must integrate well (remote, HDMI, 4k) and easy to use, as well as provide good sound in 2.1 and 5.1 (SACD over HDMI) with my Onkyo. It was 1/2 the cost of cheapest (currently found) Sony xa5400-ES. So if it works, I have some justification to get more great SACD recordings :-) |
