Without question given its chip set, I would recommend the Oppo BDP-80, not the SE. I have a modified unit done by John Tucker of Exemplar and have never heard such outstanding reproduction of sacds. It also does HDCDs and they also are the best I have heard.
Which of these SACD players would you choose?
Oppo BDP-80 (blu-ray, SACD, DVD Audio) - Retail $289
Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J (SACD) - Retail $499 on Sale for $229
I already have an Integra 6-disk CD player and a Samsung blu-ray player that would be replaced by the Oppo and obviously would stay with the Pioneer Elite.
It seems that there should be less compromise with the Pioneer Elite because of its retail price and the fact that it has fewer features. I have room in my entertainment center for another component, but would mind keeping it simple.
What are you thoughts?
