I agree with George. I need another Blu-Ray player so I'm waiting for the Oppo BDP-93. But my new 861 v6 has shipped and will arrive early next week. I think I have my priorities straight.

Yes the enhanced SE versions of the Oppo-BDP-83 were only for analog and they were quite favorably reviewed using the 861 v6 and using analog inputs. For me however I want the 7.1 capability and so I need to use HDMI into the HD621. I am not sure but, I don't believe they plan on having an SE version of the -93.

Oppo are working on an SE version of the 93, with improved analogue output. It's been confirmed by Oppo over on AVS. Not sure of time frames or any more detail. Oh and it may end up being labeled 95, to avoid confusion.
