This is the most outstanding disk player I have ever used. This is the closest thing to a Mcintosh disk player in capabilities plus more.

great player, I own an oppo that i use in the home theater but i needed one for my cabinet shop. Wow what a great unit, I was skeptical of the pure CD mode but wow what a difference. I have a Yamaha receiver and vintage Klipsch speakers and I was sick of listening to mp3 crap. My first CD I played Norah Jones I was shocked sounded better than my home system that cost 10 times more money. Another great feature is when i stop a movie at quitting time the next day it starts where I left off. Only down side is controls are slow to respond next to the oppo. Highly recommended.

I want to add to my review: the Yamaha BD-S681 has a display panel (!) -- something very few Blu-ray players have these days -- it gives track number and elapsed time. The player also has stereo analogue audio outputs -- terrific for those of us who do not have HDMI inputs on our pre-amps or receivers or integrated amps. Yamaha is to be highly commended for these features, and I hope Yamaha does not do what so many other manufacturers do and eliminate the display panel. How on Earth do you use a Blu-ray player that has no display panel?!!

Yamaha, the most trusted brand in home audio electronics, introduces the BD-S681 Blu-ray Disc player. Born from a legacy of performance-obsessed craftsmanship, this Blu-ray Disc player combines the latest advances in engineering design and performance with innovative features including 4K Ultra HD video upscaling, CD mode and Pure Direct.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
4K Ultra HD video upscaling

High quality circuitry for audio precision
Rigid construction for stability
Miracast compatibility
Built-in Wi-Fi
Built-in Wi-Fi capability allows wireless connection with your household wireless router, greatly simplifying system connections and allowing you to enjoy network audio and music streaming services. If no Wi-Fi router is available, the Wi-Fi Direct feature not only allows you to stream music and movies directly from your mobile device, but also control your Blu-ray Disc player using the AV Controller app or MusicCast Controller app.
4K Ultra HD Video Upscaling
Higher video quality. Any resolution video image can be upscaled to the latest 4K Ultra HD resolution. You can enjoy video from a Blu-ray Disc with the image detail and depth that only 4K Ultra HD can provide.
Various Disc Formats
Play everything. The BD-S681 supports playback from Blu-ray 3D discs, as well as from Super Audio CD and DVD discs. It is compatible with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound formats. Additionally, for network use, it handles FLAC and ALAC 192 kHz/24-bit and DSD 5.6 MHz high-resolution audio formats. Enjoy a wide variety of video and audio content with just this one player.
CD Mode
Sound sensitive. CD mode reduces disc revolution by 30%, thus improving data reading sensitivity. In addition, the HDMI video output and other circuits shut off and the combination of drive motor stability and disc rotation greatly reduces vibration to provide the best audio playback possible.
Miracast
Mirror your view. Connect any Miracast-compatible smartphone or tablet to mirror videos and photos to the player, so the whole family can view them on a widescreen TV.
