Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player

Hello. Have an opportunity to purchase a mint condition Oppo 205 universal player for $2,500. I'm heavily into multi-channel SACD and Blu-Ray music playback. Seem like a reasonable deal? Any other suggestions?

They do look very similar. I’m only guessing, but I’d imagine the extra weight of the Magnetar might have some benefit.

The Magntar 9000 uses a ESS 9038PRO chip for the 2 channel output but a lesser ESS9028PRO chip for the surround ouputs.
