External Blueray Player suggestion to use with DS Dac. My family is looking for an external dvd/blueray player for the family computer. I am wondering if there is any way to get something that I can plug in to the DS Dac. Are there some that play sacd’s? Any with Hirez output? How would I control it without a computer…I imagine that is not possible. It must be portable Thanks T ---

Well. For home use, non-portable, network capable, Pioneer makes a UDP-LX500. It is a 4k machine. Videowise: plays 4k blu-ray, blu-ray, 3d blu-ray, dvd Audio-wise: plays SACD, cd, dsd, aiff, flac and a bunch of other formats. I have included a link from Pioneer’s website. From their website “operating instructions” has several pages that list all audio and video formats. While I do not have this exact model, I do have an older version of this machine (looks identical). I play high-res audio files from a usb flash drive connected on the back of the machine. It is a little tempermental, where I make sure the power is off and UNPLUGGED before connecting or disconnecting anything, including usb flash drives. And after playing a video file from the usb I need to play 2 cd’s afterwards to get the display back onto music. But otherwise LOVE this machine. It has coax and optical digital outputs as well as rca line-level outputs, and a high-quality dac for the line-level outputs.

In the past I looked for a good quality (good video resolution) portable blu ray disc player and was not able to find one that had 1920x1080 resolution (just 720p or similar). ---

You need a player with a coax digital or usb output.
