Looks great. The 983 is a serious option for an upscaling universal player, and the 980 if you have an external video processor; both in conjunction with a Meridian processor, of course.

Oft forgotten, one priceless "feature" of the Oppo players is that their DVD layer-change is so quick it is rarely noticeable (much much better than Meridian players in spite of what Meridian says); and Oppo players are "Meridian-compatible" when it comes to maintaining the bitstream at layer-change (no muting and relay-clicking in Meridian processors).
