Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE

No machine can output SACD (DSD) signal through S/PDIF, however, they can be sent through HDMI.

However, the Oppo allows one to convert DSD to PCM and then output via the HDMI. There are some products that converts HDMI LPCM signal into an S/PDIF signal, and with thos gadget, you may be able to retrieve the DSD signal.

With the Oppo, the DSD conversion to PCM resulted in an 88.2kHz signal.

Extremephone,

At what bit rate does DSD converse to? Is it 16/88.2 or 24/88.2?

Hi,
Not sure whether 16 or 24, but 88.2 via Oppo is confirmed.

Hey Guy;

Learn any more about this?

I have same questions

I received at 83SE. I'm posting to set my start date with it: tonight. I'll have to give it time.
I had the Cambridge 840C, incidentally. While I appreciated its clarity, it was "polite". The sound did not project forward as it does in a good hall in life. It was as though there were a force field around it. While I appreciate that, it's NOT how music sounds live. I have yet to hear a horn played that didn't project forward towards the audience. It was very low noise; however, music is not an academic exercise. It is feeling, it is power (the type of music being played allowed, of course) and it is rarely "contained" unless the composer wrote it so. Keep that in mind rather than "bass", "midrange" and treble comments.
