Either the Oppo DV-980H or DV-981HD are both great but they are about $170 and $230 respectively. If you just want something to tide you over then a Philips DVP5982/37 DVD Player could work but at that low price likely wont play SACD.

Sorry to hear about your player hope it didn’t damage anything else. Kind of curious how it caught fire?


It is srictly for movies as I have no hdcd or sacd. Quality of picture is the primary concern followed by multiple codecs.
