Denon announces flagship DVD-A1UD Universal Disc player (BD/SACD/DVD-A/CD)
Got $5,800? If you spent $14,000 on Denon's newest Pre/Pro components then maybe you do.
Denon have just announced their @ $5,800 Universal Disc player, the DVD-A1UD, capable of playing SACD, DVD-Audio, DVD, CD and Blu-ray Discs.

Denon has announced that they will release their new flagship Blu-ray Disc player, the DVD-A1UD, this January in Japan. Designed to match up with their flagship processor, the AVP-A1HD, this universal player can playback Blu-ray, DVD, SACD, DVD-A, and CD discs at the absolute highest quality using the latest in playback technology.
The player uses Denon's fourth generation DenonLink system, which has been combined with HDMI to deliver a clearer signal with less jitters. The specialty building chassis drastically reduces vibration while also shielding sensitive components from electric and magnetic interference. Two HDMI outputs allow for connection to more than one display.
Audio receives the highest priority, with dedicated circuits making use of a 32bit/192kHz processor. Besides have 8-channel audio outs, it also includes two channel fully-balanced XLR output. Video also gets a boost via a Realta video processor to upconvert DVD content to 1080p as well as pixel correction provided by a proprietary Denon system.
When it ships in January for roughly $5,800, it will only be BonusView capable, though a future firmware release will activate the BD-Live capability. The player will then be released in Europe sometime in March, with no US date currently announced.

I won't say anything negative about it because I'm sure it will be one bad

Thank God it doesn't play HD-DVDs. That would probably be another $1000.

Or you could just wait for Oppo to put out a fully universal player and save more than 5 G's.
