Oppo BDP-83 SE vs McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe

Hi There,

Wanted to know if someone did A/B between Oppo 83 and McCormack UDP-1? Oppo 83 version (Reg or SE or Nuforce) VS McCormack UDP version (Reg or Deluxe).

My own feeling is, there is little sense in investing in a McCormack UDP in 2011, given Oppo 83 SE used could be had for about $700 (with BD support, FW upgrade, cust service etc. etc.).

But, wanted to confirm nonetheless, as I have McCormack DNA225 amp + RLD-1 pre (and there seems to be a good deal on UDP-1 Deluxe).

thanks,
Paul

To better define, main angle for comparison should be:
- music/SQ (CD, SACD, DVD-A) and NOT the movies/PQ.
- HDMI ease by itself is not so important, but SQ is.

Also, let's add "eSound E5 Platinum Edition" to the mix.

thanks!

The McCormack is nice and probably well built but the Oppo has newer and better DAC's as well as Bluray and online firmware upgrades.

I suggest you see if you can fit the Oppo into the McCormack chassis. ;-)
