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

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.

Admranger.

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.

Admranger,

I assume your Rotel receiver doesn't handle HDMI, otherwise a single HDMI cable would seem preferable to six analog RCAs for 5.1, especially given your 80/20 movie bias. If you don't care about lossless codecs, can't you use a single RCA digital or Toslink for 5.1? I thought the Oppo 95 was aimed at those who preferred analog output for music, and that only its analog differs from the $500 BDP 93. I notice the OP is using an AVR. Maybe that's the component to upgrade. Or have you been bitten by the jitter bug supposedly associated with HDMI?

Just ordered an Oppo BDP 95. Should receive it by Tuesday next week. Can't wait to hear blu ray movies with my rig. Had an Oppo 83SE and hoping the power supply upgrades, better chipset and XLR's will be beneficial to the sound / video.

The video is excellent; every time I put on a disc to watch a part of a movie, I get so engrossed that I typically end up watching the rest of the movie through the end.
