Hi there,
If you had a 1000 Euros (1200 $) budget which universal player (cd, sacd, dvd-a) would you buy? Just for audio, video doesn't matter.

Looks like the yamaha is the winner. Have you a different opinion?
I will use it with headphones only (analog out-amp-cans).
Is now the right time to get a universal player (maybe something better is coming out shortly?)
