Sony UHP-1 experience?

Sony has a new Universal Player out and it's getting good reviews.  I have a lot of SACDs and also Blu Ray Audio and some DVD A as well, and I always want to make sure that there are players at reasonable prices.  The Sony also plays High Res pcm and DSD .  On the Video side it doesn't do 4 K and some reviewers think this is fatal flaw but My concern is audio.  The player goes for $350.00 at Best Buy.  Has anyone here heard it?  It seems like it might be a great replacement for the Oppo 105, now discontinued

Interesting Mahler. Just the fact it will play Hi-Res and output in 2 channel analog makes it very interesting for me. It would open up new avenues of listening at virtually no cost. Thanks for bringing to my attention. :)

It does upscale to 4K--that's a big plus too.

I've been watching Blu Rays with with my Panny TV speakers. I'm encouraged to buy this Sony UHP-1 just for the ability to play Blurays through my main stereo. It's about time Sony brought out something like this.There must be millions of analogue only audio systems out there to take advantage of this.I guess Sony realizes they've tapped most of the buyers who always upgrade and see this as a possibly significant market expansion. Makes sense to me and I'm going to try one very soon.
