I know all you $1,000 Oppo fans are going to sneer at this, and that's ok.
A few months ago, I was reading a basic comparison of several Blu Ray players, rating sound quality, picture quality, and disc compatibility, etc. I was surprised to see that Samsung has a player which was rated excellent in both picture quality and disc compatibility and very good in audio, for about $250 - $300. Sorry I don't remember the model or where I read it (maybe Cnet?). Samsung has been coming on strong with great products and prices in a number of categories, from cell phones to audio to refrigerators.
I don't have a Blu Ray player yet, but am thinking of getting one in the near future.
Thoughts on the Samsung players? Any experience with it?

I don't know if the Samsung can play SACD, but I don't care. I only have one SACD CD - the one I got for free from Kimber - and don't plan to buy any, but I do remember the synopsis saying that it plays DVD-A just fine. I really need to do some Googling and find that again when the "buy by date" is closer.
Marantz has great pic, sound, Oppo has more features.
Does not allow the unit to accept external inputs that make use of those DACs. The Marantz is a nice player, but it sure ain't no Oppo BDP-105...

I heard them side by side. Marantz sounded better, I bought it.
If not it would be very difficult to make a valid comparison. Nonetheless, I am glad you are enjoying your Marantz, it seems to be a very nice player...
