Bought the new Oppo DVD981HD player...

Last week I bought and installed the new Oppo DVD981HD that plays standard DVD's, DVD Audio, SACD and Vox. I'm running HDMI and optical to my AVR into a 55" Hitachi plasma screen. I'm very pleased with the results, better PQ and better audio than I had been experiencing with Sony DVD player.

I recommend this unit.

Is Oppo coming out with a HD or Blue Ray format?

The new one is the 980H, afaik. The 981 has been around for a while.

I had a 981. The picture quality was some of the best I have seen. And the sound of movies was fine. But with 2 channel music, it wasn't all that hot. Even my new Sony blu-ray does 2 channel better. Didn't use the Oppo for music, I have a dedicated cpd in that system, but I did try it out.

I have to agree with Hifidreams. Music on the Oppo is not all that. Movies are fine, but sometimes the buttons on front don't work. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Overall I am somewhat disappointed with the 981.
I emailed Oppo about the button problem and never got a response.
