Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound?
Oppo 105D, the biggest bargain in audio! The Oppo 103D is a good choice as well, at about half the price. 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
mahler123,I also have a Pioneer Elite BDP 09 that I use for video. The audio through the "Pure Audio" mode is great, however, initially it wouldn't play Blu-Ray until it had a firmware update. Who invents this stuff? It's like buying a car that wo... 
OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality???
reubent,Of all the universal players I have had, the Oppo loads the fastest! Don't be concerned, my comment was just a heads up to people who think that there must be a problem with their universal player because start up time is considerably long... 
OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality???
Just FYI, I would hope by now that most people realize that universal players take considerably longer to load than a conventional CD player. I have an Oppo 105D and a Pioneer BDP 09 for video. On the rare times that I use them for listening sessi... 
Enlightened Audio DSP-9000 PRO Series III
You won't find any speaker outputs because your EAD DSP-9000 is a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), not an amplifier. The DAC is meant to decode the digital signal from a (CD/SACD) transport or some other digital device. The signal output by your... 
OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality???
Make it easy on yourself, and avoid regret by just buying the Oppo. You will not be disappointed! The 103D goes for about $600, and the 105D about $1,400. The difference that I see is that the 105D has balanced outputs. 
Any ideas on why I am experiencing interruptions with playback on my Oppo BDP-105
I'm glad I could help! (LOL)

Try calling Oppo. Who would know better? They have probably heard it all. 
Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting
When does an offer below the asking price become a "lowball" offer? I really don't know but, knowing that the asking price is an arbitrary figure, I typically will offer up to 20% below it. Let's face it, once you decide to sell any piece of equip...

Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
Adele is great, give her the benefit of the doubt on this. As far as the Grammys, they need to find a way to cut down the length of the show. 3.5 hours is just too long, way too long. At least an hour of the time is commercials. I guess they just ...

Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
So, if you have only one system, including audio and video, you would be hard pressed to match the performance of the Oppo 105D at anywhere near its price. However, for headphone listening I'm using a transport and DAC combination. Things are chan... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
I bought a McIntosh universal player (MVP-871) and it was nothing but problems, and it was eventually replaced by an Oppo 105D. What a difference! The Oppo was truly plug and play with any type of disc. It has balanced, RCA and HDMI outputs. No, i... 
Musical Fidelity kw DM 25 Transport and DAC
elberoth2,There is no such word as "prolly." The word is "probably." You wrote that in 2007. There is no telling how many times you have used that term in the last nine years. At least, now you know! Also, don't try correcting me, for correcting y...
