I an interested in the answers to this thread. I would suspect that the Panasonic BDP-85K would be an option (Wolson DAC and low jitter circuitry) - although it may not be quite up to the video performance of the Oppo 83.
oppo bdp-83se vs oppo bdp-83
All,
Right now I am running a Pioneer BDP-05 Blu-Ray Elite.. sound is pretty alright getting losless Dolby TRUHD and DTS HD MASTER and other losless formats pcm etc on movies and music concert discs .. i amrunning thru a Yamaha rx-v2700 reciever.. and i am running a Oppo 980h SACD/DVD/CD player for the SACD/DVD-AUDIO/DVD section (i am using a Arcam cd 73 with kimber pbj for CD)... THE pioneer blu-ray and oppo 980 are using hdmi .. now i am thinking of getting either the bdp-83 or se to get faster blu-ray speed.. a little better video picture, and (possibly) better sound.. now i know if i get the bdp-83 i use the burr-brown DACS in my Yammie and if i get the SE i use the SE's DAC'S which i would imagine are worlds better than my yamaha 2700

Audiomike2...check out this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1276102237&&&/oppo-83-se-or-oppo-83. There are many other Oppo BDP-83 and BDP-83 SE threads as well that you can read through. Good luck. |
I have read alot of threads on here and elsewhere.. having a hard time deciding which will be better.. I would think the SE with the analog outs would be much better DAC'S that are in my Yamaha but the bass mamangement has me concerned... I would be using Kimber PBJ's for the analog out's.. I would use it mostly for Blu-ray mult channel soundtracks and music concerts along with sacd's and dvd-audio's.. I already have an arcam for redbook.. any suggestions would be appreciated,,,, thanks |
I would think I could play with the internal oppo controls delay management etc ..it just seems a little more limited but doable..some of the limits like the ganged distance and delay settings for the speakers may not be as dialed in as I have now but I could see where I could compensate...it might work...just don't want to make an expensive mistake. :) |
Well, I bought the OPPO bdp-83 regular edition and i am happier than a clam.. sounds great for BD, SACD AND DVD AUDIO and the included HDMI cable kicks butt.. so it works great.. I still have my ARCAM for Cd playback.. best BD player in SQ/PQ i have owned.. it seems like it it should cost much more than what i paid.. bravo OPPO! Mike |
