Yamada BD -A1010 - Has anyone auditioned or bought this Blu-Ray player? I have not read a review of this anywhere.

I have not been able to compare this locally with Denon or Marantz and wondered how it fared. I have a Yamaha AV Receiver and wanted to find out if this was a good alternative to the higher rated machines with SACD and DVD-A Playback.

Denon all the way, if music is important to you the marantz just pips the denon but not much, and you can pick up 2012-denon for silly money if you look around. :wave:

Pioneer bdp440 had issues with Pioneer Receivers. Pioneer bdp55 had issues with SACD. Marantz bdp5005 had issues with some blu-ray discs and vibration problems with some disc's in the drive, cd playback was dire. Machines updated . Yamaha bdp1010 plays everything. No issues. Pic & sound first rate. Hope this helps.
