Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT

I am glad u asked this question, I am curious to. I know like the poster above it shouldn't, but really am curious to know of someone tried it....

I have not made a head-to-head comparison but I use them interchangeably with HDMI.

I actually have a modded Oppo BD-83SE and it has an upgraded power supply and believe it or not, the picture and sound is better on my modded Oppo BD-83SE than the unmodded BDP-103, which is what prompted me to ask. I haven't tested it against an unmodded 83se though.

Was your screen (TV/projector) calibrated with the 83SE before the mod? If so, that would make perfect sense that you get a better picture with a modded 83SE than with the 103. Otherwise, the video processor in the 103 is superior to that in the 83SE... If you connect the 103 and calibrate your picture with that, then you should be able to achieve a picture quality that surpasses what you've seen with the modded 83SE.

With that said, the 83SE is not a bad bluray player... we're talking incremental improvements, not night and day.

I had an Oppo 105 and sent it back due to the midbass, thin sound and hdmi issues. I purchased the 103 strictly for HDMI. I can say the video in the 105 is better due to the better power supply in it than the 103. The Imotiva UMC-200 DAC's just blow the 105 's away. Better dynamics and detail right out of the box.
