? about oppo

I think Reubent meant www.oppodigital.com for the link. I really like my Oppo 981 and have a modded 983 on order. The 981 replaced a Sony 9100ES and bested it in all regards. The 980 should have even better sound quality than the 981 and the 983 should best the 981 in sound and picture quality.

I have not tried the direct connect with the Oppo volume control. I was concerned that it only has 20 steps which may be too course for some applications. However, it seems to working great for Reubent.

Of course I meant coarse.

hey what a response in my situation it is a no brainer...thanks to all , especially reubent who suggest it in the beginning....i love the hunt...so it is settled ill do the 983 as soon as i can get one....thanks to all dwhitt leaving the hobby, boy it has been a long traveled road..since 1956 .....sal marantz tube, mcintosh tube, ads, krell, cary, vandersteen, advent, ads, totem, linn boy what fun , thanks

G4M,

Thanks for correcting my Oppo URL mistake.

The 20 volume steps could be an issue for many people depending on the gain of their amp. In my case, I can simply turn down the gain of the amps (volume control on each speaker's built-in amps), so each click of the volume control on the Oppo does not create such a large jump in volume.

Let us know how you like the 983. Who's mod'ing it for you?
