Denon "Universal Blue-ray" DVD-A1UDCi, $4,500


There you do, newest just came out from Denon DVD-A1-UDci.
Is this a steroid model from Denon DVD-3800BDci, $2K? It'll read SACD, CD, and BLue-ray, nice! Also, Oppo has one too, BDP-83 for $500. Are these the only first 2 universal player up to date? How much longer Krell, Ayre, and many other hi-end companies will come out with one?

I'm not into Home Theater or Blue-ray just yet but thought I'd share the info, I'm sure this is an old news to s/o.

Dammyers,
Can you write a very quick comparasion in regard of video and sound quality of your new Oppo-83 with any of your DVD's? Thanks
Let's see, $4,500 to add Blu-ray when you can buy the Denon 2500 for less than $400??? I'll run multiple players especially as my pre/pro does the new codecs.
Here are my reviews of the Oppo BDP-83 vs my older audiophile CDPs:

I'm not a videophile so I'll just say that it is very highly regarded for both BD and DVD video display.
