Choices for multi ch digital transport-Oppo best?

I am searching relentlessly for a transport that outs via HDMI all available source material including multi channel SACD(assume it would be downmixed)and blu ray.. Oppo recommends the 93 model if you are only using it as a transport to a high end processor.Are there any better (higher end)solutions?

Kr4: Does the Ayre output DSD? Just saw your review on the Yamaha unit which definitely outputs DSD which I really want. Glad I saw your review. There doesn't seem to be many units that won't downconvert the SACD datastream.

Didn't realize it was 10k. For my purposes unless it's hdmi output is in some way vastly superior to oppo or the yamaha player other it doesn't make much sense except for pride of ownership.
