I would love one of these but I am tight and a grand is just too steep for me. A pal of mine has their original universal player (no blu-ray) and I have been trying to buy it from him for years (you just do not see them second hand) as he only uses it to play DVD - but he won't sell

It is fantastic CD player and with SACD and DVD-A it is awesome - Gaucho on DVD-A! - my jaw hit the floor on the opening bars, no kidding. Sounds like the new version is at least its equal
