Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get?

Kal- Do you have any other details, or a site with them? I have the 980 because I only have component input for my RP-HDTV but am wondering about an upgrade and its benefits for audio and video.

RXLarry99- I love my 980 player and use it for SACS, DVD-A and DVD. You can use it as a transport if you choose a better DAC. It is the player to get while the format wars ensue.

The format wars are over....

I purchased a 980 a week ago to use as a transport into a Bel Canto DAC2. So far so good. I haven't used the audio outs from the unit nor have I used dvd.
The 980 also has a USB connection but I haven't used that either and don't know it's purpose. This weekend I'll hook up the audio out and try a few cds and some of the few SACDs I own.

Anyone know approximately when OPPO will release their next DVD player to replace the 980 and 981?

The 983 will not replace the 980/981. Probably see it by late March. Lots more talk over at AVSForum.

My report will appear in the May Stereophile.
