Sony BDP-S6200

[Chuck Elliot]

At $178 (Amazon) I know this unit is no Oppo, but I needed to replace my old Blu-Ray.

I wanted a unit that had both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the two online streaming services we connect to. Previously I used my Apple TV for Netflix and my PS-3 for Amazon. Having all in one unit has drastically simplified operations.

I also found out this unit will decode both Apple Lossless and FLAC via the USB connection. I’ve only used a thumb drive to try this at this point, but later today I will try a 1TB portable USB drive.

Picture quality is great!

I thought about getting that one or the S790 since I want to get into SACD's and I don't have a player that plays them, but I think I'm going to go with the cheaper S5100 since it's only $80 and will decode all of the same things as the S6200.

Good luck with your new player and hopefully it does everything you need for a long time.

I transferred both my Apple Lossless library and my HD FLAC library to a 1TB Seagate drive(NTFS) and plugged it into the S6200.

Everything decodes perfectly and sounds as good as coming from my computer.

S6200 -> LPCM via Coax -> XDA-1

The Sony's PS3 interface isn't as flashy as JRMC or iTune, but its good enough!

Had a cable. I will be comparing both in time. Plus the XDA-1 has no HDMI.
