Two Universal Players out there.  One is going for $1500 U.S., the other for 3K. I watched the YouTube review of the UDP 900 and the settings menu looks identical to the settings menu for my Oppo 105 and 203.

  Does anyone have any experience with them?

I too have been looking for a universal UHD player for my 4K movies, SACD’ and DVD-A’s. I have a Sony UHD player that will play SACD’s but not DVD-A’s. The Sony is “cheap” (U700) feeling in that it is light and very “plastic”. I had been using my old OPPO for reading the discs for music but it has recently started to freeze up for no reason. I am interested in a player that is well built (weighs more than 2lbs!), has a good power supply, transport, clock, etc. The only names that pop up that will do this is Rivean and the brand mentioned here. I am interested more in build quality and reliability as my Marantz AV preamp does all the digital processing via HDMI. I really don’t want to pay for a high-end DAC in the player since this would be bypassed anyway. Anyone have any hands-on experience with either of these brands?
