Don't know the Sony, but I have always said that the BDP-83 sounds lousy with CDs. By HDMI, S/PDIF, or analog: they all sound not that great. I asked in all the main audio forums (incl. here) when the 83 was new why that might be, and all I got back was "it sounds good to me"...
I don't remember the details since that was years ago (my 83 has over 8k hours on it now), but IIRC I narrowed it down to it being lousy with 44.1kHz, much better at 48kHz and multiples, for whatever reasons.
