PS If you phone Oppo about their upcoming BDP-83 universal player; per my post above, make sure to ask them if it does play SACD and DVD-A (and it should as this is their stated intention for the player) whether it downsamples both formats via PCM output as does their 983H. I have the latter and it does play SACD and DVD-A, but downsamples both via PCM. The BDP-83 is meant to be a replacement for the now discontinued 983H DVD player. I did speak to Oppo about a little over a week ago and they had pushed the release forward to late Feb. - early March.
