I'm looking for a BR player with good, spot on solid images. I've heard that the Oppo does not images that well even though is highly regarded. I'll probably modify the player afterward.
Follow Ups:
It is all relative...I recently bought the Oppo BDP-83 and have it hooked up via HDMI and analogue out to my A/V system. My Onkyo TX-SR806 receiver has as its internal DAC's the Cirrus Logic CS-4382 which is the same multi-channel DAC in the Oppo BDP-83. The BDP -83 for stereo out also has a separate DAC from Cirrus Logic the CS-4398 which is a true high end DAC. The 4382 is a very good multi-channel DAC but for stereo sound not as good as the 4398. Now again its all relative to what sonic experiences you are use to and have a taste for. How is your room setup and possibly room treated?
I am very impressed with the analogue stereo playback of my BDP-83. CD's sound superb on it in my room, to my ears and my sonic desires. It is as a CD player a machine the punches above its weight class. If you want a step up the SE edition (only if you hook it up via analogue out) is said to be improved sounding over the BDP-83.
If you are one of them snobby, uber audiophiles who thinks unless you spend near 5 figures or more on your digital end the Oppo will likely make you happy. Those who spend mega bucks on gear do get technically in general better products but more so only delude themselves based on the money spent to think they get such superior sound, good for them I guess.
I'm not saying the BDP-83 is the Holy Grail, NO! as I said it's all relative to your hearing, tastes in sound, experiences in musical sound add room design and treatments too, but for the money the BDP-83 is not only a kick but Blu-ray machine but a superb universal player too.

You are definately right, you don't have to spend a lot to get good sound and that's where i'm at. Thanks for your opinion, i'll look at the Oppo.
I just had my basic Oppo modded by Ric to the basic level and the imaging is significantly improved I believe.
Ric who ? I might go on that direction. You can shoot me a personal email. Thanks in advance.
Here's a link.
just got the special edition oppo last week. totally pleased w the cd sound and imaging, as well as all formats thus far. really nice machine that outperforms my busted up tjoebe 4000 w upsampler
Most any blu ray player simply spits out a digital stream of data to the TV which decodes it into video.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
I was referring to the audio portion of the BR player.
So based on your comment I will always need an external DAC for decent sound
from a BR player. I guess that will be a fair assumption,right ?
I am not an advocate of DACs for formats other than CD nor am I a fan of indiscriminate modding.

I wouldn't call myself an indiscriminate modder. It's too expensive these days. I do like to tweak a little. But anyways, as a reviewer you probably heard something out there that was above the competition. I'll probably buy a BR player in the next few weeks hence my question.
