How tragic. A B & O Beomaster 1200 would do the trick, except it is 1/2" too wide. The space is 20 3/4" wide by 18 1/2" deep. The 1200 is 21" wide. It's in MoMA's collection and it's completely crazy looking (disclaimer: I'm an architect reall...

BTW I used to have a Rega Planet 2000 in there, but moved up to the Oppo BDP-95 since it seemed equal as a transport, but had a better analog stage and was a universal player. So there's another unit for sitting on top. Still, yes I know there are...

Oppo BDP-95 Weakest Link
I am in a similar situation. I have a BDP-95 as well. I have managed to get better sound out of it with SACD, DVD-A, and Blu Ray with a Monoprice HDMI switcher / de-embedder. You'll find a lot of info about it on the net. Then I pass the signal in...

box or mini rack for tiny gear?
Well, the question is whether that will degrade the sound. I had a surprise with an HDMI cable the other day. For reasons particular to my own brand of insanity, I figured that a 25' Mediabridge cable running from my HDMI switcher to my TV would d... 
Decent DAC with Real Remote
Thanks, Jaxwired I contacted Wyred4Sound and they said they could create a custom firmware for me that would support discrete codes. Now that is good customer service.
