I see a catch 22 situation arising in the DVD CD scene. Maybe worth keeping an eye out for one in the UK and taking a punt to see if you like it. Yamaha DVD-S2700 DVD-Multiplayer Titan | eBay There's one currently on eBay but it's in Germany - current bid is 33 euros. I'm thinking you should be able to get an SD2700 for about £80 or less. I ended up buying a second-hand player that cost £3400 when new. Two of the newer players had the ES sabre DC's (one of them being the Oppo, which Steve mentioned), a third one in the same price range had something different, which I can't remember. They may have been very detailed and transparent but in some ways I preferred the Yamaha, as I found that the new players were rather 'glassy' with quite a polished digital sheen the Yamaha to my ears sounded more organic. I auditioned new players between £1000 and £1500 that didn't sound much better. I still have one, which I'm keeping as a 'spare' because its sound quality is worth far more than what I could sell it for. If you're looking for analogue outputs into a decent stereo amplifier, just need DVD (not Blu-ray) and are happy to buy second-hand then the Yamaha DVD SD-2700 will give you excellent CD playback for the money. And when I say Low Cost I mean £50 or less.Īgain, your budget and your objectives are not clear. Though I don't remember the specific model, but I saw a very low cost DVD Player with Analog Outputs that had 24b/192k DACs. So, we need a clearer statement of objectives. I don't think I could have done better for the money. I got a £500 Universal Player for about £150. I was shopping for a low cost CD Player, but the best I could find was a Universal DVD Player on Ebay. You haven't really made your objectives clear, perhaps you are trying to do as I did. It does not have Analog out, but it has both Optical and Coaxial. The Cambridge Audio CXUHD 4K Universal Player is £700 -Ĭambridge Audio - UK - CXUHD Universal BluRay Player This Sony UBP-X1000ES (£725) has HDMI, Optical Out, Coaxial Out, and Analog Out. So, they are not cheap but they do bring a lot of features to the game. The best OPPO Universal BluRay I believe was about £1200. Then we have to consider how much money you have to spend on the project. Feed that into a DAC and you have everything you need.
However, even a modest BluRay will likely have Optical and/or Coaxial Outputs. If you get a Bluray (as an example) that has Analog Out, that means it has Internal DACs and that simplifies things. Though Cambridge also makes a nice Universal Disc Player. OPPO would have been the perfect choices, but they are no longer in production. The first aspect is to get a Universal Disc Player.
