Current Universal Players

Hey folks-  Does anyone know if there are any high end universal players being made anymore (i.e. EMM Labs, DCS, Esoteric, etc. etc)?  I know it's no longer in vogue but I would like to be able to play cd's, sacd's, dvd-a's and hdcd's.  I'm sure  that's asking a lot but there it is.  I've seen players that are 15-18 years old but I would like something a little bit newer.  Any thoughts?   Thanks.

Sony has a few that will do everything but HDCD. I have the UBX 800 in the den’s 5.1 system. 
 

All the best JD

HDCD is backward compatible with any CD player.

When you are ready to sell your Oppo 205, please give the right of first offer.

Good advice as above. There has never been a better time to purchase Universal Players. Best practice, whichever brand/model considered, contact an Authorized repair center to check available Critical parts.  The Classics never go out of vogue.

 

Happy Listening!
