I have always wanted to own a Oppo since I first heard about them, but just never made the move to them since I didn't really need a new DVD player.
Since getting a new 1080p set and noticing some issues with my current DVD players, it is time for a new one. I have been eyeing up the DV-981 and DV-980, but sadly, I think I am going to go with a Toshiba HD-A20 or possibly the HD-A30 instead, making the jump to DVDs in HD sooner than I planned on.
The Oppo's are still an outside shot though due to their high quality, I may even buy one just for the region free features of DVD since I own a few Region 2 DVDs.
I have always been impressed with this company since I first heard of them and what their players could do. They really seem like a company that listens to the comsumers and gives them what they want and even update their players via firmware to fix what they can. I really hope they enter the HD scene soon, preferably with a dual format player, none of this fueling the war crap. If they did, I would be the first in line to buy one just to support them.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
