Alternative to Bryston BDP-1 for a cheapskate?

Found CD-P800NT on TEAC website. Network/CD/USB player that can play everything, including DSD, from USB thumb drive. Not much info other than 2 user reviews in Japanese that didn’t make much sense after Google Translate was finished with them. I’d be using it as a file player/CD player, no network. Hopefully, USB playback was not an afterthought. Please chime in with your thoughts on this or TEAC in general as I am not familiar with their gear.
Thanks

The usb flash drive I use is 128G and I have so far loaded only about 30 hi-res albums and it is just 50% of capacity. While I am slowly filling up the drive. I still enjoy listening to my vast collection of redbook cd's and some sacd's via my Esoteric K-01 player.

Thanks Jon. Glad to here that big lists are manageable from the front panel. I was thinking of maybe reloading 3-4 albums as needed.

Serge,
Just rechecked and realised that I actually have 50+ albums now and am 2/3 of the way in terms of the drive capacity. No worries there, where scrolling of the albums and tracks on the panel display is concerned.
But this downloading habit has to be checked - getting too addictive. Cheers!
