Blu ray and SACD

I know of only 3 BR players, at the present time, that will play SACDs. They are the Oppo BDP-83, the Denon DVD-A1UDCI and, the soon to be released, Marantz UD9004. There is, also, the Sony PS3, if that fits your needs.

Now, you have to tell me what you mean by the ability to "play SACD in its true format as it was meant to be played." I can think of several ways.

The others can do that, too. Pretty common these days.

Then, perhaps, you might try my series of columns. ;-)

Those are running topics. The column is not a tutorial.

BTW, several new universal players were announced/shown at CEDIA to join those already noted.
