Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players


Greetings all. I'm curious what other's experiences are listening to Universal Players vs. "dedicated" cd/sacd players. I have an Oppo BDP95 based on the reviews and convenience of the "one-box" solution. However, I've been wondering if I'm missing some audio performance this way. I'm more into sound than video BTW. I have an audiophile friend who says he doesn't like audio and video in the same box. I've entertained thoughts of purchasing a dedicated audio cd/sacd player. Your input is appreciated.

Very nice -tonykay.

I still want a BDP-09, so, if you spot one feel free to contact me anytime.
Happy Listening!
jafant,

Just FYI, there is a Pioneer Elite BDP09 on C***list here in the SF Bay Area for $450 (that's very low). He even offered to sell it to me for $400. If I didn't already have one I'd have jumped on it long ago. It's still there today.
