You want to make sure (I think?) that, not only does the player play SACD's, but that it outputs them in their native resolution. I think the Oppo players that play SACD's, at least thus far, can only output SACD's and DVD-A's via PCM which, as I understand it, basically down-rez's their stream to that of a redbook CD. Some correct me if I'm wrong.
Any Blu Ray player that will also play SACD's ?
I am close to buying a Blu Ray player but is there any players out that will also play SACD's.
I have a Cary SACD player that play's SACD's but only in stereo.
I also have a Denon 5910 that I could move to another room to make room for a new Blu Ray player but I hate to give up on my SACD's Multi Channel and for that matter DVD-A discs Multi Channel .
Any Blu Ray player that will play SACD's ?
Or is there any plans for one?
If not, thanks alot Sony!

PS If you phone Oppo about their upcoming BDP-83 universal player; per my post above, make sure to ask them if it does play SACD and DVD-A (and it should as this is their stated intention for the player) whether it downsamples both formats via PCM output as does their 983H. I have the latter and it does play SACD and DVD-A, but downsamples both via PCM. The BDP-83 is meant to be a replacement for the now discontinued 983H DVD player. I did speak to Oppo about a little over a week ago and they had pushed the release forward to late Feb. - early March. |
Here's a good FAQ that addresses playing SACD on the older PS3 model. |
