Hmm, that's too bad. Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any players that DO allow what I'm after?

Oppo's players may be able to bitstream the core codec while bitstreaming the lossless to HDMI. I don't know for sure.

I emailed OPPO with the question, so we'll see what they say.

Nice!

Well there ya go, Oppo saves the day again. I remember the 1st time I ever saw an Oppo logo, I thought they must be the newest generic electronics company trying to pan for all the bottom feeders of the market. Turns out they set out with a plan to be 'Giant Killers' offering as good or better performance for a fraction of the cost! I think its great!

I just hope they don't go the way of Hyndai and start raising priced once they feel they're established.

Right now, I've got five disc players in my rack:

-One for BluRay
-One for HD-DVD
-One Oppo for SACD and DVD-A
-A CD recorder
-A DVD recorder

I'd love to get the latest and greatest Oppo to support them and whittle this list down, but the truth is that it will only replace my Blu player and current Oppo.

Oh when, oh when, will they introduce a Blu and HD-DVD player that handles SACD and DVD-A and happens to record Redbook CDs and DVD-Rs?

Yes, this was a rhetorical question....

Could you replace your HD-DVD titles with Blu-Ray's? Then the Oppo 83 could play all of your media. A $50 dollar DVD burner in your computer records both DVD's & CD's. Or you could foot the bill for a Blu-Ray burner & have all three bases covered.

Voila, down to one unit & your computer. Just sayin.
