While perusing through some threads regarding 3x SP-DIF output and audio decoding from HDMI and mods to Oppo DVD players by Shawn Fogg, prompted me to post a thread about Oppo's up and coming release.

I'm not sure if people are aware but Oppo Digital is about to release their final killer version of their SD player before heading into the domain of high definition.

Among some interesting points is that it uses an ABT 102 deinterlacing chip and ABT 1010 scaling engine. Expected to sell for around $300-$349.

Here is the link to a thread on AVsforum.

The intended release date for this player is Late February/March.

I thought this was worth bringing up to members here who are thinking about purchasing a SD player or those that are thinking about purchasing one of Oppo's existing DVD players to have Shawn Fogg mod.

Here's a link to Ric Schultz' website. He has info on modding Oppo and other players plus many products on offer that may be an interesting read.
