Ptss-
the Oppo is only as good as its price-point (non-modded).
There is no way it could compete w/ a Levinson nor Esoteric
at x3-4 the cost. Ultimately, get one and try it in your system, no harm in that, and eval how it performs.
I will give props to the Oppo because it is a true "universal" machine. It is not expected to get all of those physical formats absolutely "right".
As a purist, I prefer several machines (CD/SACD, DVD/BR) to get my physical media "right". If you are on a budget or simply prefer 1-stop shopping, then the Oppo could be your next spinner. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
