i've begun looking at blu-ray players. ideally i'd like a universal type player, but i havent find any that do both SACD and DVD-A. anyone know of any that do?

also i'd prefer region free with both NTSC and PAL formats as well, and what about HDCD?

At a recent audiophile get-together, the Oppo wasxall the rage.

Handles DVD, BLU-RAY, DVD-A, SACD, HDCD, PAL, NTSC, and great sound.

It sounded good to me, and they are relatively wallet friendly.

I should mention you can also use the player as a stand-alone into 7 Amps. It has 7.1 outs.

Also has USB and HDMI.

thats what i want, just dont want to buy new. i think i might have to pony up for this one though.

All the dudes were chatting it up like it was the only girl at the prison rodeo.

thats because she's the only one that does everything, and i mean everything that you want her to.

There's a lower priced standard DVD/DVD-A/SACD/HDCD Oppo as well.

It's very low profile. You could option to run this universal low profile player, and a second Blu-Ray player or Sony playstation.

Is it an issue with space?

space is not an issue, but i would rather get it all in one package rather than have two players in the same system.

I looked around a bit, and by the time you'd get a cheaper version of both, you'd still end up spending the ducats to buy one single Oppo all-in-one.

So, when's movie night? I'll bring the Jiffy-Pop.

i'm thinking Christmas.

I concur with Paul, Oppo is in deed a very all-around player.
...and if you dampening it you'll see/listen what a great player it really is.
