I'm looking for a DVD or Blu-Ray player that supports DVD-Audio/SACD over HDMI.
I know the HDMI spec will support this from HDMI 1.2 and up.
Unfortunately it's not clear from the specs of new DVD or Blu-Ray players if they support that.
I did not find any recent threads covering this.
There are many great DVD-Audio and SACD disks out there not available in Blu-Ray
I hope the migrate all the material over to Blu-Ray
I know Denon iLink and others support this.
I'm looking for an affordable solution.
Plan to pair with an Emotiva UMC-1 processor.

Oppo, Pioneer, Onkyo, Integra and many more coming. I do not list the otherwise excellent Denon (or Marantz) players since they limit HDMI output of SACD to 16/44.1.

Would the new Oppo be a significant upgrade over my old reliable Denon DVD 2200? I have a newer receiver that will accept SACD over HDMI (Pio VSX-01TXH). Trying to justify a case of upgrade-itis. Take into account I have a BD player(Sony BDP-S350), the Oppo would be a dedicated digital transport.
