I just bought the 83 SE . To me the picture is great but the audio is crap. Hooked it up first running through my dac Von Gaylord and the sound was amazing . watched avatar and was spellbound wow. Just for fun unhooked the dac to see what it sounded like crap. I guess i am spoiled. My last oppo was the 971H and it has been a great player running it through the dac. Thanks Steve
