Oppo BDP-83 question

If you have a standard DVD player with better audio capabilities than the Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player, could you play a standard DVD in the DVD player and then run the video through the 83's internal video upscaling, does the 83 have an video input to do this or does the company sell any attachment for this?

No video inputs. If you use HDMI or the digital outs the audio will be the same. If you want better analog get the SE model.

My standard dvd player is a Marantz DV12S1. I believe it used to retail for around $2-3,000; I bought it for $1,000 about 7 yrs ago. Built very well, and heavy for a player. I suspect it has far better audio circuitry than the Oppo BDP-83, but it doesn't output HDMI.
