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.

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

Kal,

Which of your "music in the round" columns do you recommend to learn about a) how best to utilize blu ray players with high end audio systems; and b) comparison of the audio performance of various blu ray players? Thanks.

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.
