Speaking of MSB. They are using oppo sacd transports correct?

What does the future hold ?

ps audio is going redbook only for their next transport. Partly I think that oppo was the sacd supplier for the dmp.

They amassed quite the stockpile of transports for all future needs.

Unfortunate, since several of the major Japanese companies are making universal players, although I don't know who makes their transports. And it is my understanding that any Bluray transport works for the actual mechanical part of the transport for all optical discs, it's the firmware (chipset) and licensing that determines the disc types read (SACD, CD, DVD-V, DVD-A, Bluray...).

This little company still makes them today.
Will most likely be making them tomorrow too.

All great names, adding these 2 (transports, still need a DAC which both handily supply great ones);

Wadax Atlantis (CD, XRCD, SACD, DVD-Audiio and Bluray)
JMF Audio (France, excellent universal transport and DAC, CD, XRCD, SACD, Bluray, not sure about DVD-Audio)

An even better list of all above would be to also narrow down;

- those that have to convert SACD DSD to PCM as the DAC is pure PCM
- those that have dual-mode DAC capabilities either internally or externally to allow PCM to stay PCM and DSD to remain DSD until the DAC layer converts to analog
