Price was not a consideration as I could have spent much more, but after auditioning and researching for two months or so in the summer, I bought a used Oppo-93 and it has easily been the best audio bargain I've ever had. The newer models aren't expensive either. I wasn't looking for it as I didn't think I had many, but its SACD performance is exemplary. And being able to use the same player to hear the higher resolution audio files on the dvds and blu-rays in these boxed sets has been a plus as well.
