? about oppo


what is all the hype about, are they really that good? and if so , why would anybody buy a thousand dollar player? has anyone used one with powered speakers? if so , which ones? thanks doing research on a small system to do video and music in a 10 by 10 room...

I think Reubent meant www.oppodigital.com for the link. I really like my Oppo 981 and have a modded 983 on order. The 981 replaced a Sony 9100ES and bested it in all regards. The 980 should have even better sound quality than the 981 and the 983 should best the 981 in sound and picture quality.

I have not tried the direct connect with the Oppo volume control. I was concerned that it only has 20 steps which may be too course for some applications. However, it seems to working great for Reubent.
I got in on the group buy with Doug at ASi-Tek for the full mods. We had a great conversation and I decided to give it a try. I'm looking forward to meeting with him at akfest and checking out some of his new gear.

He is working on mods for silverline speaker crossovers,of which I own the 17.5 monitors,and if all goes well with the 983 I will get my crossovers done.

After I get the 983 I will post my thoughts in a new thread.
