CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D

Pioneer is supposed to make a Universal Player for a grand that looks and sounds great.  Sony makes a Universal Player for under $400 that has gotten variable reviews for audio quality, but considering that you like the Oppo 103 and the 103 was decidedly lower audio quality than the 105, you might find the Sony unobjectionable 

Your second question has now raised the used price from $1,000 to $2,000 for CD/SACD quality. I have owned the Oppo 105D and a Modwright Oppo 105D. I also still own an Oppo 203 and an Oppo 205. I highly suggest that you keep your eyes open for a Modwright Oppo 105. They can be had for less than $2,000 used. The price on new and used Oppo 205's has become more speculative of late. They are going for more than the suggested new retail price (which I think was $1,200). If you are looking for a universal player to equally handle home theater and CD/SACD audio duties, buy an Oppo 205--don't buy an Oppo 203. The 203 is okay, but the 205 is a significant upgrade IMO. But, if you are actually chasing the best CD/SACD sound quality (within that budget) and the home theater piece needs to be present but is less important to you, I suggest you hold out for a Modwright Oppo 105. If you can find a Modwright Oppo 205 for $2,000 or less, I suggest you buy it--and quickly. 

Thanks for all.
If I have enough disposable income now, I would not mind spending much more, even more than $2000, but I'd like to keep it under $1000. I asked about $2000 since it seems hardly likely that any player under $1000 would sound noticeably better than OPPO 95, and I was interested in knowing then what players can easily beat OPPO 95.
At this point, OPPO 95 will be my next player. Hope it works better than my Sony DVP-NS999ES. It sounds pretty, but I just feel that my current system can potentially do much better with a better CD/SACD player.

The Marantz SA1 is one of the top dog SACD players but again it is not a universal all in one.

I know it is nice to go with just a one box solution fits all , been there.

However for SACD replay there is better for sure.

My old Pioneer dv79avi does a better job of SACD and CD replay than my OPPO 95 but it does not do BluRay....

Can be a tough choice and always seem to end up as a compromise along the road in one aspect or another.

Hmm,
Pioneer dv79avi sounds better for CD and SACD than OPPO 95?

I really don't care much about BlueRay in my stereo system since I have a separate home theater setup with OPPO 103D player.
I might look into more options for just CD/SACD player at under $1000.
Thanks.
