The very nice Panasonic DMP-BD55 is a great piece @ $399 and you can get one for $328 street price.

The only differences may be SACD and possibly DVD-A. And most people don't need the capability for either.]]>Nov 12th 2008 10:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 12th 2008 11:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 12th 2008 10:53PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 12th 2008 11:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/
They've acknowledged that the hardware configuration does indeed support DVD-Audio, but their current firmware build hasn't enabled that functionality yet.]]>Nov 13th 2008 2:30AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 13th 2008 2:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 12th 2008 11:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/Nov 12th 2008 11:58PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/The unit will have the same DVDO processing chipset as found in the new DVDO Edge (VRS by Anchor Bay). It will have 7.1 analogue outputs, HDMI 1.3 (with support for native decoding for DTS HD and Dolby Digital Plus/TrueHD), and will upscale DVDs to 1080p. It even supports 24p output.Based on the chassis markings, BD Live 2.0 support (via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet) is included out of the box and USB connectivity is provided for photos and music playback. Dedicated analogue stereo outputs are also present and the unit has IR control in/out connections ("for Oppo approved connections only"). No RS-232C control is present. Perhaps most surprising (in a pleasant way) is SACD support as well as compatibility with HDCD's. Coaxial & S/PDIF outputs are present for legacy audio, including Dolby Digital and DTS.
Asthetically it looks pleasing. Based on the photos the finish looks to be top aluminum black finish. The good news is it is SACD compatible which means there is a 7.1 analog output connection at the least...hopefully it also includes bass management control. It makes sense they use SACD support considering the have to pay Sony a license fee for the BD and since SACD is also Sony's proprietary high res format for CD's, it makes sense right? I have tons of DVD-A discs, which I currently play on my Denon 5910...so not that big of a deal.

$399? Maybe less, I hope so. I am sick of the PS3.]]>Nov 13th 2008 2:04AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/12/oppo-teases-bdp-83-blu-ray-player-offers-no-vital-information/

Regardless of whatever price OPPO sells this new Blu Ray player for, I will confident it provides more bang for the buck than anything else out there. ]]>Nov 24th 2008 5:42PM
