Blu ray and SACD


I am in the process of purchasing a Blu ray player and I would like to know whether any Blu ray player will play SACD in its true format as it was meant to be played (not just because it is compatible). In addition, if I need to purchase a special Blu ray to play SACD's then which would you recommend?

I know of only 3 BR players, at the present time, that will play SACDs. They are the Oppo BDP-83, the Denon DVD-A1UDCI and, the soon to be released, Marantz UD9004. There is, also, the Sony PS3, if that fits your needs.

Now, you have to tell me what you mean by the ability to "play SACD in its true format as it was meant to be played." I can think of several ways.

Oppo blue ray player. Great video and pretty darn good audio. Lost of folks out
there have many mods available to improve audio performance.
For $500 you cant go wrong IMO. I have one.

Playstation 3 has one added feature, that is the ability update firm ware. I've played blu audio and sacd of the same materials and the sound beats red book stuff.
I agree with Drjoe.
The Oppo BDP-83. It plays formats including SACD.
The outputs are HDMI 1.3 all audio formats and video, Analog 7.1 & 5.1 for SACD DSD and PCM, DVD-A, HDDTS & HDDD. It has 2 channel analog output for all the above & CD. It also has optical and coax output but not for Hi Res audio. Composite & componant video out as well as an Ethernet & USB port. This player does it all and the picture is very very good. If you want RS232 control you can order it as an add on. I replace a Marantz 6400 SACD & Sony S500 BR player, the Oppo smoked both of them. I could not be happied. The only thing I do not like is the CD audio but I will get it modded at a later date. This unit is a bargin at 499.00.
