I have recently purchased this player as a replacement for a modded BDP-83. Not sure how many other people here have done the same, but I am mightily impressed with the new unit which to my ear improves considerably on its predecessor as a transport. Notably:

1. The 93 has a much improved drawer mechanism.
2. Dual HDMI outupts solve my HD621 sink problem (no longer have to leave a downstream device on).
3. As a digital transport, the 93 does not appear to have the slight harshness that characterized the 83 (in my system, at least).
4. Styling is most definately a step up
5. The 93 does not have the 7.1 bug that still exists in the 83 (although fixable eventually with a firmware update)

Given its service as a digital transport, it is hard to imagine that it will be worth spending double on the BDP-95.

Anyone else have experience with this player.
