Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?

It's in the cabinet. Doing some looking around I see one site that mentions it's retail at $1499? Somethings amiss, as he said he bought it new for about $350. Wierd.

I own one that I bought when it 1st came out. It's a workhorse and it's audio/video is very good. But it was cheap when I bought it, you might want to check Ebay to get an idea what they're going for these days. The display isn't good and the disc tray feels flimsy to the touch. But the performance outshines the build quality by a lot!! Mine's in the bedroom!;)

Doggitter get it! I replaced my aging Oppo 980H recently with a like new 981H for $70. Did several mods and tweaks and run it through a external dac and am very pleased with it. One mod was installing a Dexa voltage regulator, it reduced noise considerably. Go fer it.

Well I got to sit down and do some listening last night finally, with Joe Sample, Alison Kraus, and Pink Floyd(shouldn't have). This dvd player is a big improvement over the Denon. Less harsh and more details show through. I'd have been happy paying 5 times what I did for it. WIN!

Congrats!!
