Blu ray and SACD

I am in the process of purchasing a Blu ray player and I would like to know whether any Blu ray player will play SACD in its true format as it was meant to be played (not just because it is compatible). In addition, if I need to purchase a special Blu ray to play SACD's then which would you recommend?

Hey guys, thanks a mill for your responses. I am now getting back into this field after a few years so I have a lot to learn. I really could not find much online on using a Blu ray player in an audio setting. At $500 the Oppo BDP-83 seems most suited to my current needs.
Thanks again.

Hi Edorr; thanks for the detailed response. I was away so I only read it today. I have to stick with the part of your response that says "If you're on a budget its a no brainer and you should get the Oppo." I am a CPA so I am always on a budget :-). However; I have decided to keep my home theatre and two channel seperate. In addition; I may ultimately use my computer thru a DAC as my source.
The more I learn the closer I get to deciding what system to build.
Thanks again.

Hi Edorr, I agree combining the two systems would be most cost effective. However, my current home theatre room is on the second floor and opens to both floors - very bright. In addition, there is an AC air handler in the room....
To me the room is the most important part of the sound of any system. I learned that the hard way.
