How feasible would it be to (aftermarket) retrofit the Oppo BDP93 guts into a G98 or 800 series case, with upgraded linear PS and Shaun Fogg pseudo MMHR output?
Cheers, Ian

how many here would spend �1,500 (minimum IMHO) for a Meridian Badged Oppo based player I might. As you know Ronnie; I've been thinking about buying a more upmarket BD player of late so if I did take the plunge (& you didn't talk me out of it!) & Meridian had one on offer I'd almost certainly buy one. Better that than a Meridian DVD player.

BD iso has been dropped from the Oppo. Dune Pro will already have the linear PSU.
So you "only" need to mod the HDI Dune Pro 2012 for MMHR/SPDIF and you're set.

But, p-l-e-a-s-e Meridian, if it's possible, can you add vanilla DD/DTS decoding to the HD621? Yeh! And stick another HDMI ouput while you're at it. I thnk there's little doubt that disc spinners are dying. What I want is a high quality multi-media client (multi-channel audio, high definition video (+3D), photos) all controllable by a mobile device app. I don't think that asking for much. ...and don't forget the icing on the cake.... Put the HD621/2 in an MS600 box! PS. Wouldn't DD/DTS decoding also usefully cut down on cable usage? If I want to connect my PS3 through an HD621 then onwards to a G61 or 861 for example I believe at the moment I would also need to use an optical cable direct from the PS3 to the processor to ensure I get sound from all media types?

HD621 can pass-through DD/DTS coming in via HDMI to be decoded in the connected processor. I use his feature in my G68ADV.
But the you don't have any advantage of the HD621, it just separates audio from video, no apodizing.
