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

sumac, thanks for the feedback. Coincidentally, I have a Bluesound Node 2 so your input was particularly helpful. Appreciate it.

I have tested the uhp-h1 for two,weeks on marantz pm8004 and totem hawks, and i confirm this is not a high quality audio product.  Compared to my yamaha bd-s677, the sony compresses the sound on both cds and sacds to a level i thought was impossible in 2017.  
The video is ok, but the OS is not only slow and buggy, it is retard. 
Stay away from this unit.  This a sony scam.
