Oppo BDP-83 initial thoughts...

71.163.65.155

It's musical (I'm listening in stereo)...intensely so with SACD...strong imaging with both CD and SACD...very detailed sounding...subtle...less high strung than many "audiophile" players...honest, studio quality to the sound...reminds me of the sound of the Sony SCD-1...superb video.

Strong buy on the basis of SACD audio and Blu-ray video...could rekindle interest in SACD, but as always the improvements of SACD over CD are subtle and only audiophiles will appreciate the difference.
