I haven’t bought a Blu-Ray player yet because my current dvd player also plays DVD-A discs and SACD discs which I don’t think Blu-Ray players play. Do they? I wonder if te new Toshiba player will? If I find a player that plays “everything”, I’ll buy one.
What you’re looking for is a “Universal”player..
I think Denon has one or two, they are certainly coming out with them.
Very expensive however.
I have a Denon 5910, which in addition to playing all music formats and standard DVDs is a Stereophile Class A component.
Expect to pay what you would expect to pay for class A stuff.
But the audio and video are both incredible, and I only need one player for everything.
I know they are coming out with a similar model at the end of the year that also plays Blu-Ray, but it better be equally good at other stuff as well before I blow another wad on it.
Meanwhile their current blurays don’t do SACD—not sure aboutDVD-A.
Check out the Oppo line of upscaling DVD players. They play most formats and the players can even be programmed to play DVD's from multiple regions. These players are very highly rated on AVSForm.
