What current Blu-ray players support SACD? I'm aware of the Oppo BDP-203 but can't decide if it's worth the coin in my situation. I do not have a 4k TV.

Does Oppo still sell them? I did a quick look at prices and it was difficult to gauge what they cost....

No, but with the 203 out, there should be a good supply of pre owned on eBay or AVS forum. 

They hold value. I sold my 103 for 375.

That's pretty much what I saw. At that price it makes sense to go with the 203. Thanks for the info!

Precisely what I thought when I was offered that, but people pay it for one reason or another!

Yeah I would just go with the 203 given the used prices on Oppos.  Look at the positive--you know your 203 will hold it's value, you are ready for 4K HDR if/when you cross that bridge and it makes a fantastic SACD player.  I'll bet Ive played more SACDs in my 203 than 4K discs.

If you get the 203 and play SACD, go into video settings and change Output Resolution to Source Direct.  It makes no sense but when I would put my SACDs in, it would pop up SACD on the display but just sit at the Oppo home screen.  I thought I had a defective player until I found someone else on AVS had the same issue and posted the remedy.  That little trick will save you some grief and get to enjoying your multisource audio faster.
