So I've finally reached the breaking point with my Pioneer Elite (it's been nothing but trouble.) And it seems like the OPPO is the manufacturer of choice in these parts. So my question to those of you in the know is, does the UDP-203 do all the surround formats? On the website I see it says it plays DVD-A & SACD. I'm assuming it'll play the old DTS CDs and the newer blu-ray audios plus ATMOS. How about multi-channel .flac files? I don't have a great TV so I'm not as concerned about picture quality. Are there any issues with the 203 that I should know about before purchasing? Oh, and by any chance is it region-free? Lastly, buying direct from OPPO, it's $549. Is that the best route to purchase from?
Thanks!
Thanks!
