I personally would never buy a highend player. Technology changes too fast. That's partly why Meridian got out of it. A new Oppo player a year later will probably supercede any tweaked one. Buy it's your money. 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. From what I've read the Oppo does plan an 93SE. I think I recall reading that on the Oppo web site. I'm scheduled to pick my BETA program 93 up on Monday the 22nd. Best, Jay
