@mahler123 yes, but having a monitor on top of the audio stack just to select a track/see display not tolerable, took monitor down. Also don't like the flimsy plastic feel and heft of the Sony. And for me hard to 'read' the buttons (lighting condition in the room, need flashlight to 'see' what button to press for play, forward, etc). Still a GREAT player for the money, NO question.
Sony UBP-x700 or Denon DVD-1930CI with Denon AVR-4520CI for SACD
Don't like the 'no display' plastic Sony x700 I currently use via HDMI to my Denon 4520.
Found a used Denon 1930CI that is more substantial and plays SACD. But I don't think it puts out DSD over HDMI (only PCM)? Analog may not allow DSP, Audyssee (and not sure how good the 1930CI DA is). Noticeable difference?

@mahler123 "player with display". Duh, yes, that is the point of my post here, checking if the Denon player would be a good replacement. |
Get the Sony UBP-X800M2...it will play all your sacds, cds and blurays. There is no dac, hdmi or spdif out only. And....pssttt, here's a secret, it is also a very high quality streaming transport. It will act as a upnp device and play the hires files on your NAS....or install the bubbleupnp app on your phone and stream qobuz on it.... All of it...for only around 300 dollars, thanks to Sony's very charitable nature. |
