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.

Drbarney1 , it’s really hard to copy live , you can put a nice system with a better room.And maybe it can go near the live one.SACd is good but mostly the system is the one that does it.
