Equipment is correct, supports SACD, DVD-audio NICKEL. My Toshiba SD-500E does better in analog, surround channels have more punch e.g. DTS audio CD ''BoyzllMen'', and DVD-audio The Corrs central voice is well separated with more presence (on TOSHIBA). The UBP-X800M2 lacks punch when playing CD-R Audio of certain burned formats, homepage has a yellowish color bug 'Netflix, settings.. Otherwise, it does the basic job..
