Who is planning to buy the oppo-95 and...?

I just paid for my 95 which I will pick up next week. They received very few units for early shipment and are prepping those units now.

In reference to a comment above, according to Oppo, the 95 does not use a new transport but is a complete redesign from previous models.

I have some Wilson Watt Puppies and have listened to the Oppo 83 and the 83 SE. The 83 SE sound is more resolved but cooler. I will post my reaction to the 95 next week.

Is it me or ?, why are people buying/selling 83SE for prices approx $100-$200 below the new projected price of the 95

it is a way better machine...

What would be the things to consider in determining if the 93 or the 95 is the right player for my mid/low-fi system (Rotel receiver, B&W LCR's up front, 2-velodyne spl-10 subs)?

I run analog 5.1 into the receiver from my Samsung BDP-20 (I hate this DVD player -- it is hit/miss on loading cds, and has some issues w/DVDs).

I use the dvd player 80% movies, 20% music.

Admranger, I have the BDP 83SE and use it 80/20 movies like you and run analogue 2.1/5.1 and it beats my Onkyo Pre pro digital by a good margin. I am waiting to buy the 95 model in which the analogue is beefed to a better processing chip and Rotel power supply. It also incorporates QUED video processing. A well rounded, better machine.
