However, I think you may need to "burn them in" an hour before you make the mods. As you probably may have read some EAP-ers have had vibration issues that Oppo quickly has solved by replacing the player, but that is of course not a good solution with modded players sent abroad. They MAY have taken production QA to a new level before the public release, but since these issues all have shown the first hour - why take the chance?

The player will probably be released first without DVD-Audio playback, it seems. All other things are now close to completion while DVD-A seems to have some more work to do, mostly because of no real standard for the disc authoring. I don't think Oppo will want to wait until that is resolved, but it's fine with me if they just promise it Will be implemented in a future FW upgrade - Oppo has always been very good with taking care of their customers and can be trusted without problem on this.


Tommy, I will be taking care of any possible vibration issues by doing a few things to these players, so everyone will be set in that regard, I do make sure the players are functioning 100% as normal before shipment

thanks Tom
