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

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.

If you are running analog now, that's a good fit for the 95. Just be sure the Rotel has an analog bypass to ensure it doesn't redigitize signal. If it does, either upgrade reciever or stick with the 93.
