Oppo Blu-ray ???

You may want to ask your question on the AVS forum thread established by Oppo for feedback and info. You can find plenty of info and links there.

I have the Oppo 980, and you can access all features, using an hdmi connection, including repeat play through the remote and do not need the tv to be on. You can set the the 980 to start a disc automatically as well, so whether a CD,SACD OR DVD-audio is put in the tray, it will start playing. I would think their new one would do so also.

I looked at the AVS forum thread.
There are 174 pages of chatter !!!...

What is unique about the Oppo is that it includes DVD-A and SACD and plays them through analog outputs.

Can anyone just summarize the Oppo BDP 83?

So,

1. How is the DVD-A and SACD sound quality compared to say a Denon DVD universal, coming out the analog outputs?

2. Do you have to use a Video monitor to play DVD-A's?

Ok the Video.
1.How is the Video on Blue Ray and DVD?

Other

1.What other notable comments?

What is unique is not that it outputs all the audio by analog but that it is, at the moment, the only BluRay player that will play SACD and DVD-A. It will also output those via HDMI.
