    High End Universal Disk Players Including Blu-ray

    Has anyone heard of any universal players that will play CD, SACD and Blu-ray disks and be better both sonically and with video than the current crop of blu-ray players?

    I could be wrong, but the only BD player I know of that also plays SACD is the Playstation 3. No real "universal" players yet that also play BD and/or HD-DVD.

      The LG BH100 plays both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

        True, but not SACD, DVD-A, etc.

          I gues that Meridian, Denon, Esoteric, Krell, Ayre, etc. are waiting to see if one format survives and if it makes sense to make a player?

            Maybe they're also waiting to see how Samsung's dual format player will do on the market (the LG one, while an interesting early option, isn't fully HD DVD functional, whereas the Samsung is supposed to be).

              Bluray when?
              by george_k
              Has anybody heard when bluray players and related media will ship? I can't seem to find any information regarding this. I know Sony is lauching the PS3 sometime in the the 1st half of 2006 so I figured the dvd players would follow around then.

              I'm thinking of purchasing a new dvd player...

              Universal DVD players
              by Andrew Pratt
              What are everyone's thoughts on these new universal DVD-A, DVD-V and SACD players? At the moment I have the Denon 1600 which is one of the best DVD players available and it also does DVD-A. I'm also using it as a CD player since I find its DAC's slightly better then those in my Rotel pre amp but I know...

              CD Player requires breakin?
              by akhter
              Or am I just imagining things (quite possible).

              Last week I got an Arcam CD73T after comparing it with the Arcam CD192/Linn Genki/Naim CD5x, and found the entry-level arcam to be the best value by a long-shot. All the other players were similarly priced ($1700-1900), and the Arcam gave...

              Help getting ready for new Disc Players
              by timetohunt
              I am still only a few months into the hobby.

              I am looking to upgrade my situation for playing discs, my collection is largely red book cds, but I also have lots of concert DVDs, a few DVD-As, SACDs, and HDCD encoded CDs.

              So, my first thought was upgrade to a better universal...

              Hooray for the BluRay of "Fiddler on the Roof"
              by Burke Strickland
              When I went to see this movie when it was first released in the commercial theater, I had the misfortune of sitting behind a little snot who "sang along" through the entire movie despite numerous requests to be quiet from people around them. I knew the movie had a great soundtrack, but it...
