I would appreciate for recommendations on a universal player SACD/DVD in a $2000-$3000 range.
The SACD sound quality over 5.1 analog outputs is the most important.

So far my list:
Arcam DV139
Parasound Halo D3
Pioneer DV-58AV

how about the Primare dvd 30.

Interesting to see Denon likely beat Oppo to it (by a few weeks). Despite the probable price difference, I think Oppo will feel urged to get DVD-Audio to work in their set too (perhaps that's actually the reason for the slight delay beyond the 2008 holiday season).

New Sony all in one 5.1 home theatre with SACD - DAV-IS50

http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hcs-surround-kit---dvd-player/dav-is50

Edit: false alarm - the website is incorrect (see next couple of posts)

Sorry but the DAV-IS50 does NOT play SACD (except the CD layer of hybrid discs).

See the spec at http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hcs-surround-kit---dvd-player/dav-is50/tab/technicalspecs

DVD / DVD Audio / SA-CD / CD / Video CD : YES/ NO/ NO/ YES/ YES

Hi Seventh Taylor,

The Sony site is a bit misleading then as the "features" page says:

"Multiple format and codec support - DVD / CD / Video CD / SACD / mp3 / JPEG playback capability"

They generally don't mention SACD capability if they only mean the CD layer of hybrids.

Like you say, the "technical specifications" say it doesn't as does the manual.

Cheers,
K

Another Sony all-in-one: DAV-DZ360. This time it appears it definitely does play SACD.

I think you're right. Funny I missed that one. It does seem to fit in with the DAV-DZ260, DZ560, DZ660 and DZ860W reported earlier this year.
