OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player with SACD & DVD-Audio
OPPO Digital, Inc. is about to release their first Blu-ray player the BDP-83. Known for making the best up-converting DVD players their Blu-ray player will be just as popular. It carries on their tradition with stellar DVD playback and supports both SACD and DVD-Audio. Making it a universal player priced at least a thousand dollars less than its competition.
The player uses Anchor Bay’s (DVDO) award winning Video Reference Series technology for image processing which insures you’ll get the best possible image whether it be DVD or Blu-ray. The player also comes with 7.1 analog output and will stream supported media files such as MKV.
List price and availability (around May 18th our guess) hasn’t been announced yet. Those luckily enough to have been selected for the Early Adoption Program paid $499. Hopefully it will be priced the same for the rest of us but don’t be surprised if it ends up being $599. If DVD performance is important to you or you’re looking for a universal player it will be a bargain at either price.
