Suggest a DVD player for audio

[arnoldc]

I want a player that can play CD (required), HDCD (optional), DVD audio (required) and SACD (required) with optical *and* coaxial output to feed my future AMB Laboratories Gamma 1 DAC.

Maybe you folks know or use one already.

Thanks.

I have the Oppo 981. Very happy with the video and audio aspects of this player. Eric Lim had Oppo in his shop at Rockwell.

I owned a Marantz dv6001, very good for both dvda and sacd, has co-axial & optical outs but no hdcd decoder. Upsampling 24/96 DAC (Cirrus Logic) re 88.2 and 176.4khz. Plus excellent upscaling for video. Video section can be completely turned off (including HDMI & front panel LED display) for best audio performance.

Distributed by Avesco and being carried by its retailers like 5th Ave. It's actually on sale, i.e. 14k + cash price. Check it out.

No local distributor here.

If you need the new units checkout TOY 01 at PDVD as he regularly takes order for various A/V stuff.

@JoeyGS, I saw the Opp model you gave at around US$169. Check ko link sa PinoyDVD for that seller. Thanks.

So far,

1. Oppo
2. Marantz

Sorry for the slip-up. I still OWN the unit, mainly used for sacd/dvda playback. Check out their outlet near Kinetic Audio at Robinsons EDSA.

Alright, thanks again

Very easy to unlock. Just a few clicks on the remote.

Question for the Oppo users...

Does it output the DVD Audio, HDCD and SACD onto the optical and/or coaxial out?

Prof,

try mo yung Pioneer Elite DV-79AVi SACD/DVD-Audio player.

[arnoldc]

Thanks O.D.Yeo. I already saw the specs and just wanted confirmation from users if it is what it is. In that case, the Oppo is OUT.

@ESAudio, thanks for the info. I was actually looking for the DV-49AV which supports the audio formats I want. The 79 has better video which I'm not interested in

Val, ok at least I can see and hear that unit sa Park Square. Thanks!

Russ, di naman pang video eh

[arnoldc]

Imposible ata itong gusto ko...

Most of these player spit out the DSD and DVD audio signals sa HDMI, not to the optical or coaxial out. Kung meron man down sampled pa
