Modern player for DTS CDs, DVD-A, and SACD 5.1?

[mandrix]

Jeez it's been so long, I can't remember sticking a USB stick in the Oppo's. (except to rip SACD)
Now we have networked Oppo's so no point? IDK don't listen to FLAC with the Oppo's as I can do it on the pc in a fraction of the time.

Not trying to incite anything, but is there something magical about playing files on an Oppo? (I have three)
Oppo evolved somewhat over the years in file playback types (but not a whole lot)
If I were a diehard Oppo user, and had any model from 103-205, I would jailbreak that sucker. Won't change file type that wasn't supported, other than will play about any .iso file you throw at it over your LAN. SACD/BD/DVDA/DTS/DVD etc.

My 103 is jailbroke. I mean, great. I can browse my LAN and play about anything I have.

Until yesterday. Stopped responding at all to either the remote, or a Harmony remote I programmed years ago.
Time to get in touch with the good guys in Cali and see what's what. (Oppo service)

I have updated my survey of all universal multichannel disc players in #81 (version 31).

Happy to report the Oppo remote is fixed, and the 103 is working fine. I cleaned out the remote with some contact spray....I'm thinking the remote code selector was not making contact? IDK.

Samsung HD-841 (with free hacked firmware)
Samsung HD-941 (with free hacked firmware)
plays DVDA/DVDA-R, DVD, SACD, SACD-R, DTS-CD. The firmware was only hacked to play SACD-R, or burned, SACD discs.

Oppo DV-970HD, same as above

Oppo BDP-80
plays DVDA/DVDA-R, DVD, DTS-CD, SACD, SACD-R, BD with stock firmware (No 4K BD)

Oppo BDP-103 (Russian firmware)
plays .ISO files, folders & anything off the network except 4k

...added because I don't read French, whether useful or not.

I recently purchased a Sony UBP-X800M2 (as a backup to my Oppo 103). I'm in the US and have 1 PAL DVD; out of curiosity, I put it in the player and it works! The manual makes no mention of NTSC or PAL. Is it common that modern players can handle both formats? With the selling of players worldwide, it would make sense to design them to do so.

While your SONY and most OPPOs will play PAL DVDs they won't under any circumstance play Region B or C BD~Vs unless you sprung for a region free player!
