Need a new universal transport

If you are looking for a one box solution that can do everything the OPPO did, pickings are likely slim.

Another OPPO?
What is wrong with yours? Can it not be fixed?

Maybe a Yamaha BD-A1060BL.
On paper it looks like it may be a contender but I have no personal experience.

I don’t know if it can be fixed, I can’t even get it to turn on long enough to rest anything. 

If you have a halfway decent shop anywhere nearby it might be worth taking it in for an opinion?

Sony makes a well regarded Universal player for under $500

Actually, thy have another Univeral player for under $300.  Check the Crutchfield web site

I decided to splurge a bit more and go for a Marantz ND8006 CD player and steamer. Looks promising. 

I had a Marantz 7004 streamer, and it was terrible, basically unusable.  I used as a DAC in a 3rd system and then Marantz stopped supporting it, so coincidentally when that happened it wouldn’t even work as a DAC anymore.  When it was under warranty Marantz response, which was tardy to say the least, was to ship me an equally ununusable replacement unit.  I hate to rain on your parade and I hope that Marantz has gotten a lot better in the streaming department than back then

Based on everything I’ve read it seems to do what it says. We’ll see. 

I hope so, but make sure you really try the streaming unit before the return window expires.  I don’t doubt that it will do a great job spinning discs

Btw, in your original post, you were inquiring about a ‘Universal ‘ player.  That term usually means Blu Ray, SACD, and DVD-A capability.  Since the Marantz does none of these, I assume that you don’t need these features?

Correct. I meant universal as in audio file types. My bad.

i purchased it from Audio Advisor so if there is any issue sending it back won’t be a problem.
