High Quality Universal Player??

I’m interested in a disc player for CD, SACD, and cinema DVDs, Blue-Ray.

It MUST have equal or better sound quality than my current Cal Audio HDCD player.

Ideas? How about the Cambridge Audio Azur 651BD Universal Blu-ray/SACD/DVD/CD Player?

or the newer 751? Also, what is the difference between the 751 and 651?

I’d laos like to buy form a company large enough to stay in business for a while :)

Sony has or is about to have a new Universal player; Oppo is about to announce a new version also

reubent,
I have not ran the 105 directly into the Levinson amp. I plan to. The Oppo has a 100 step volume control and it is factory set to 100. Caution: If anyone plans to, reduce the volume first. I suggest reducing the headphone volume also before testing as well.

jafant - I tried out an Oppo BDP-103 vs. my current Cal Audio for a while. I liked the Oppo but it did not sound any better and it could not receive my iTunes Apple Lossless files over WiFi, so I sent it back. There is a currently active thread on this

I may try Oppo again when they have a new player as the concept of a single box to play all audio and video discs, and WiFi is a compelling one...
