I was perusing around today and found a near mint Oppo DV 981-HD in our local thrift store. After checking functionality in the store I have returned home and am listening to it right now. I was initially disappointed that there was no factory remote but after calling Oppo customer service I learned that a replacement remote is available for only $8.00 plus shipping. It was promptly ordered.
My sole use for this unit is audio.
Questions:
1. This is my first SACD capable player, other than my Blu-ray player which is in another room. Is this still a current technology and is the small investment in a few disks money well spent?
2. Should I look into DVD-audio instead?
3. Was $9.95 too much too spend for this player? I am kidding about this...
Thanks in advance for the advice!
