Older Amp, SACD Player, blu-ray Player & Switcher? (1 Viewer)

[Rob Gilmore]

I am contemplating purchasing a blu-ray player that can output the new audio formats as analog sound. That way, I can keep my existing amp.

My problem is this: I already use the analog input jacks on my amp to receive the analog sound signals from my SACD player.

I dislike the idea of having to change the cables around everytime I switch between playing an SACD music disc and playing a blu-ray disc.

QUESTION: Is there a 6-channel switcher that will allow me to choose which sound source [SACD player or blu-ray player] I want to input into the amp's analog input jacks?

Alternatively, is anyone aware of a blu-ray player that is capable of playing SACD discs or DVD-Audio discs? That would eliminate the need for a switching device.

I used to use a couple of audio/video switchers from Radio Shack to do this when I had both my SACD and DVD-Audio players connected to the 5.1 analog inputs on my receiver. It doesn't appear they sell the exact same model I used, but here is one that looks like it should work. You will need two.

Oppo Digital is rumoured to be releasing a BluRay player sometime in January that is almost certain to include SACD and will probably include DVD-A. But the price will be a bit steep @ $599 to $699.
