? about oppo

By the way, you can get a refurbished 980 direct from Oppo for only $135.00. They even offer the 30-day money back guarantee. Also, if you're in the Bay Area, you can pick it up in their Sunnyvale offices.

When I got mine they told me that they were looking to launch a Blu-ray player by CES next year, but for $135 I went ahead and for HDCD, SACD and DVDA is sounds awesome -- better than my DAC. For CD's It also makes a great transport. Not as good as my Theta David by far, but shoot, for the price difference it's tough to quibble.

i don't see on the oppo site where they offer refurbished? thanks

I got in on the group buy with Doug at ASi-Tek for the full mods. We had a great conversation and I decided to give it a try. I'm looking forward to meeting with him at akfest and checking out some of his new gear.

He is working on mods for silverline speaker crossovers,of which I own the 17.5 monitors,and if all goes well with the 983 I will get my crossovers done.

After I get the 983 I will post my thoughts in a new thread.

Go Oppo! I currently have a Oppo 981,it replaced an Elite 47ai which replaced a Sony Es,the oppo outperforms both......easily and obviously.I do wish the 981 had 7.1 output,the 983 does.Oppo is the way.

I have replaced 2500 dollar Denon Top Picture rated players with Oppos.. yes they are that good in video.. The new ones are even better in audio!
