Saw an interesting thread, where Tillman (Mar 31, 2011) wrote:

Oppo 95 ranks at 8.5 to 8.6 - damn good sound for $1,000 and better than players I have heard at twice (or more) the price.

Not too inconsistent with my impressions of 83SE vs 777ES.
Still, there seems to be a consensus the multichannel analogs will be significantly better than for the 83.
