Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Restaurant at the End of Universe Hitchhikers - Meridian Equipment Oppo BDP-83 Universal Player with 4x SPDIF Powerbuy!

Just discovered this, so I have not read all postings to see if this has been answered.

I'm definitely interested in a region free player (Meridian ED of course). But how about delivery? I live in Denmark.

Hi Gary,

Definitely with 4xS/PDIF!

Best,
KJ

thanks for the suggestion, but no joy... I tried all of the video output settings... none of them affected the PCM rate over the modded SPDIF ports.

on a more positive note... all of my DVD-A discs now play after installing the latest firmware... the Oppo is still having trouble playing the DTS tracks on the discs with both DVD-A and DTS, but it handles the DVD-A tracks just fine (which is the important half of the equation)... it also does just fine on DTS only discs.

I have more customers overseas than in the US, we take care of our overseas buyers, we eat some on the shipping, little duties due on shipments, no added taxes and paypal payment or bank transfer accepted

thanks

KJ, you are #1 and have been offered a early model via PM if you wish to proceed

digital transport edition with 4x SPDIF

thanks very much, appreciate it, one more slot open for anyone interested

I moved all the "Edge" shipping issues to the Edge thread.

Folks interested in the Oppo Player are not blind and can read the Edge experience with Gary in Edge thread. There is a stickie thread for transaction experience. But I advise you wait until it's over before you do.

Overall Gary seems to be professional about this whole thing from my vantage point and mishaps in shipping and customs do happen. But it's no reason to trash this thread.

Due to limitations in managing threads two posts got moved to edge I did not want moved.

I'm reposting it here for completness only because it conforms coachjay got the second early unit.

This is Custom HT's reply.



done! that would be it on the early ones

thanks Jay

coach has not confirmed yet that he wants the other early unit, the first did go to KJ and is confirmed

Oppo is saying around 3 or 4 weeks before steady stock is available to dealers like me, so these 3 early units should help out with those interested in what the player brings to the table

I think that people are going to find what they get for even the modified price to be worth way more than what they paid, I would put this modified unit up against anything at any price

I also want to add that anyone that is lucky enough to get a early unit can contact us about having their player modified right now, sans region free and HD-SDI, both coming really soon, most are wanting one stop premodified players though which makes sense for most and I appreciate the patience in waiting for that to happen, won't be but a bit longer now

thanks, much appreciated

Gary,

I may have an opportunity to get one early. What is the procedure for getting it modified (PS, Clock, 4X SPDIF) with you?

Scott

Scott, send me a PM and I will be glad to set it up and with a discount if you can give some comments and answer questions on the forums

thanks a bunch

Gary, if you still need an early deal, let me know and I'll gladly be in for the full Meridian mod including RS 232 interface. Thanks jimK

I think Gary said RS-232 version won't be available right away.
