OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet?


I have had mine for about a week now and wow it's pretty impressive. The remote has to be aimed right at the player to work. The sound from the balanced outputs seems great, nice tonal balance from top to bottom. Blue-ray's seem to sound the best so far, SACD's are nice. I don't think for the money it can be beat and the video is stunningly good for me anyway, much better than the PS3. The audio is also much better than the PS3 for whatever that is worth, although mine(PS3) will play SACD's I think a real SACD player is better.

Mine did a software update right away when I hooked it up to the network.

I'm sure there will be improvements coming but I like the sheer convenience of having a player that plays it all. I have this one in a strictly 2 channel system, has anyone used the various surround set-up's yet?

The BDP-93 is much better because of the dac chips used. The same as with the 83 versus the 83SE.
Dob, I play many sacds, but even cds sound better in my opinion, with the Crystal chips. I have never understood why many preferred the SE or the 95. I should say that I have limited experience with unmodified 83s, 83 SEs, 93s, or 95s. I have Exemplar moded gear.
Wildoats, I think you are right about the Sabre chips. But several of us prefer the Crystal chips.
