How good are "Oppo" players?


I'm in Australia, and have heard quite a few good things about Oppo universal disc players, but they're not easy to find here.
They seem capable of playing just about everything, and I want a HDCD/SACD capable player.
But how do they SOUND? Are the DAC's, and other components, up to true high fidelity standards, or are they just a compromise?

i just got mine and it is pretty darn good! slightly inferior in bass mangmnt on its own compared to my NAD with DAC. but the NAD only has one laser so cannot do full justice to dual layer and true dsd sacd's. may mod it as many say it can be killer then. they are NOT as tanklike as good cdp but the sound with sacd and dsd is great for $. have had minor glitch with tray opening but not a big deal... keep in mind tho dac's apparently are limiting factors in allowing full benfit os certain types of sacd's.
