Recommendations for Blu-ray Player


Guys, I'm so close to a solution for my 2-ch system. Looking for Blu-ray player recommendations thats fit the following:

  • Stream AmazonUHD, NAS, YouTube (and any other common audio/video streaming apps)
  • 24-bit/192kHz PCM audio quality
  • Ethernet and Wifi
  • HDMI and Coax outputs
  • Prefer: full-component width, front-panel display, on-screen menu system
I currently have a Sony BDP-S7200 that does everything above except no AmazonUHD app. And as easy as it would be to add it (Sony is an AmazonUHD partner) - Sony probably won't. Tidal option would be nice too. 

Thanks for your recommendations! When/if I find something, I'll report back.

OPPO BDP 105, Buy one if you can find it. Luckily OPPO was forward thinking enough so that you dont need firmware updates or any kind of updates. The great news is it will handle all your requested needs and then some!  I would buy one in a heartbeat if available because as bkeske has stated they dont make these anymore! (a Firestick hardly replaces this unit ,not even close).Because they are disc players OPPO is doing there forward thinking agian and sees discs are bad! LOL.


OPPO Digital universal players support a wide variety of audio file formats and sampling rates. When playing high resolution audio content from a USB hard drive, all of the typical high resolution audio formats are supported, including WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and DSF/DFF.

USB Hard Drive and Network (SMB, NFS, and DLNA): Stereo and multi-channel PCM up to 192 kHz. Stereo and multi-channel DSD up to 2.8 MHz (DSD64).

USB DAC Input: Stereo PCM up to 192 kHz.


There are preowned ones still available....I think.

Also,  1. These are highly modded by MODWRIGHT Instruments,

       2. You can add a very high quality dedicated music streamer via the OPPOs USB 2.0 audio connection :-)

Oppo 103/105 is an excellent platform for streaming, but options are limited.  I know it streams Netflix and only a few other providers. It does NOT stream anything from Amazon.
I'm not sure there's an all-in-one box that will do what you want.  You want a blu-ray player for your two channel system?  

I have a combination 2 channel / home theater setup.  My preamp has a home theater bypass option so I can use it for both.  

My 2 channel system does not use my Oppo UDP-203 in any way.  I have a streamer that I use for streaming music.  I use my Blu-Ray player to watch Blu-Ray and 4K movies.  That's it.  For video streaming I have a Roku.

Space and budget may prevent you from getting purpose driven devices, but if you can get the right tool for each task instead of trying to use a Swiss Army Knife for everything.

Well, I would strongly disagree with that. Like a Roku, A FireStick or similar, steams literally hundreds of video and music sources. Like I say, I cut the cord years ago, and use my Roku for YouTube TV and Philo (my live TV sources right now), YouTube, AppleTV, Pluto, and numerous other steaming and movie apps, (too many to list, most all free), The Digital Concert Hall (which I have a membership to watch the Berlin Philharmonic live), and so many various music and radio apps are available. Today, most ’smart TV’s do not offer the channels (apps) available on these dedicated streaming devices, and actually newer ones seem to have less streaming apps available today than just 2-4 years ago.

There is no DVD/BlueRay box that can do what a dedicated video and live TV streamer can do.

But, for critical music listening, I bypass all that and switch to my dedicated 2-channel system. Including Tidal, which I also send through my DAC. All in the same room.
Really because not only does it do everything you mentioned the Oppo will connect your Cloud Subscriptions with Professional Balanced Audio outputs, which no Firestick has, nor can it play discs, any disc for that matter, many people still own a vast library of them. Also, you can connect a high end music streamer via its 2.0 audio USB connection forming a very high end digital source. Point is the Oppo 105 is way better then a firestick in terms of versatility.
