So I've had my modded OPPO BDP-83 for about 10 days now... I'm extremely pleased with the performance. I had (it's been sold) a McCormack UPD-1 for my SACD player (hooked into my G68 via the 5.1 analog inputs)... the modded BDP-83 is a far superior solution... you just can't beat a direct digital spigot. Multi-channel DVD-A via the BDP-83 matches the G98... it's really tough to hear any difference (of course with multi-channel there is so much going on it's tough to pick out any subtle differences).

I thought DVD-A was not available yet, sure you're aren't listening to the DVD layer. Which can sound quite good.


DVD-A support is there, just not complete (i.e. some discs play fine, some have navigation issues, some won't load)... about half of my discs played fine with the initial firmware... since then there have been 2 firmware upgrades... I need to go back through my DVD-A's and see how much progress has been made. The latest firmware did enable a new menu item for controlling DVD-A/DVD priority which wasn't there before, so it seems likely to be a supported feature at release (pure speculation on my part).
