The thought has crossed my mind to condsider selling my G98 and replacing it with an Oppo BDP83, running into a HD621 / G68 setup.

Much of my listening is now via the sonus and the CD sound quality of the G98 is not that marked an improvment or the sonus. Could even at some stage upgrade the G98 to the 808.2 if a home demo proved the benefits. (is the upgrade offer still running?)

Has anyone compared a G98 running DVD and DVD-A with the BDP83. Another major benefit would be the availability of SACD. I would lose the Meridian direct link to the G68 but would bring the HD621 into play which would probably compensate. Have tried G98 via HD621 and have found it difficult to tell the difference

For Bluray I currently use a PS3, while not the driver for the proposed change, has anyone compared the PS3 to the BDP-83.

The fact that a regionally modified BDP-83 is availble in the UK now makes this a viable option.

thanks

David
