The reason the DV-983H, BDP-83 and its derivatives are so special is due to DVDO's ABT video processor.

"...Lexicon had evaluated the then-current Oppo design and suggested some video-related changes—changes that were eventually incorporated in production versions of both players."

WTF would oppo consult with Lexicon about the video processing when DVDO, who is the real source of oppo's fame, STF knows a ton more about video processing than Lexicon?

Not hatin' on you Jazz: just an inquiring mind wantin' ta know. Not that it really matters, as I don't pay for audio "jewelry". And while I feel a little sad for those who pay for Lexicon "bling bling" (which, if you're honest, really does amount to a faceplate), they deserve to be screwed -- even if they're screwing themselves -- because anyone spending that amount of money should be responsible enough to do at least some research beyond, you know, the...
