@sharri  , I appreciate all your input to  OP's SA10 thread as it may help me out.  I am hoping you are correct about my SA10, as imo, it does sound great.  I am coming back to this thread later to study on the checks you described, and if I have any problems figuring them out (I am digitally illiterate) I'll ask you.  Again, your input is appreciated!

Sony still makes a "universal" BD/SACD/CD/DVD player that sells on Amazon in the $300-350 range.  4K UHD, began shipping 2019.

Model UBP-X800M2

Related question: During the pandemic, Sound+Vision gave praise several times to a new company that seemed to be marketing Oppo-like players at a reasonable price.  I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall comments about how it had purchased Oppo's intellectual property.

Unfortunately, the magazine abruptly stopped covering those players after 6 or 12 months.  And now, I can't find those references online & don't remember the name of the company.

Does anybody have more information about the name of that company, or the model #s of the players -- or even whether they're still available?

 

 

I have a limited collection of 5-channel SACDs and an old OPPO player which has been repaired by OPPO. I have been to live performances of concerts where some of the orchestra, or one singer, is in the balcony above and behind the ground-level seats in the concert hall. SACD should duplicate this. It would add drama for Mater Gloroisa who sings of Faust's immortal part awakening in Paradise in the Mahler 8th.
