Well I haven't compared the units, but I already have the Oppo (by signing up on their mailing list). I can only assume they will have the general release in a month or so at the latest.
Best Blu-Ray ANALOG Output - Under $1000?
I am ready to buy a Blu-Ray player and am hoping to get a good CD playing boost in the package (currently I use a consumer-level Sony DVD as a transport with optical digital output to my NAD T770 which utilizes Burr-Brown 18 Bit DACs).
I know the Denon DVD-1800BD is a $500 player that utilizes twin 24Bit Burr-Brown DACs. Some of Sony's players (the new BDP-S360 as an example) also advertize as utilizing 24Bit Audio DAC (how many, what type??).
The Oppo option sounds like it could be a home-run...as it would be great to add SACD capability as well...but when will it be released??
Please offer-up your opinions on any of the above or other hidden gems...Sony ES, etc. My priorities are great analog sound output 1st, up-to-date sound processing (seemingly changes weekly) second, SACD capability third, and internet streaming capability fourth (not required but would be nice).
Thanks for your help folks!
