"Best" multichannel universal player right now?

"Best" as in what's the best at the "knee of the curve" at the moment? Looking for 1080p, excellent video processing (no artifacts, excellent scaling) and as importantly excellent 2 channel and multichannel SACD and DVD-A. HDMI 1.3 a definite asset, as is digital out.

I vote for the new Oppo BDP-83 player. Fast load time (like my PS3), stunning video, decent audio, nice build quality, and only $499.

Yikes! I would hope so for that price, Tvad. I might consider that beyond the "knee" of the curve. :-0

Audiolui, yes everybody seems to love the BDP-83. Like I said the earlier models I'd seen were truly a great bang for the buck. If you've heard the 83 I'd like to know if you were able to get a sense of its sound compared to other mainstream or upper end alternatives.
