Oppo BD83 as a transport

Has anyone used this as a transport only for CD?
Would the SE addition improve the unit as a transport.
I'm also thinking of sending the unit to Cullen of PS Audio Fame to have PS Audio's HDMI I2S output installed?

Any comparisons between OPPO as a transport and PS Audio PWT?

The PWT is in a different league than the Oppo as far as transport is concerned.
The SE edition of the Oppo does not improve the transport.

The PWT offers a larger soundstage with a less congested overall sound when being used as a transport.

The Oppo products are great, but I would not compare them to dedicated standalone transports.

To be forthcoming I am a dealer and sell both above mentioned products.

If you just want a transport the newer OPPO BDP-80 would probably work just as well plus save you a couple hundred dollars.

Why would you even consider a BD83 as strictly a redbook CD transport? Who has ever claimed the BD83 was a "giant killer" CD transport?
