The Bottom Line	SACD and DVD-Audio could finally get real, thanks to this price-busting universal player.	Pioneer's entry-level Super Audio CD/DVD-Audio player sounds good enough for all but the most critical listeners.	The affordable Pioneer DV-588A Super Audio CD/DVD-Audio player offers sound advantages over CD and even plays DivX files.		The Oppo BDP-83 is an outstanding universal disc player with excellent performance on Blu-rays and DVDs and lightning-fast operational speed, but most home theater fans will balk at the high price.
