Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player in-depth review ?

Posted by AbeCollins (A) on June 27, 2009 at 22:28:31

Has anyone done a thorough evaluation of the new Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player?

In addition to overall performance including ease of use, load times, and features, I am especially interested in how this player sounds on regular CDs and SACDs. This is one of the very few Blu-ray players on the market that also plays SACDs so I'd be curious to know if this thing can perform as my main Blu-ray player and provide respectable 2-channel audio performance.

Although it's a "new" product, it's been in beta testing for quite some time and it appears that Oppo has finally pulled the trigger and released it for sale.

Is it ready for prime time?

Jack, my point is about complete openness with potential customers. - Audiophilander 10:59:21 06/30/09 (2)

I don't agree... - Doug Otte 08:56:25 07/01/09 (1)

You certainly have the right to that opinion, but if you poll most folks I bet they'd find this specification confusing. - Audiophilander 09:59:23 07/01/09 (0)
