Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE


If the price/performance ratio of this $899 player (as listed on OPPO's web site) is comparable to their past offerings this should be the mother of all giant killers.

I don't think so. I own one. It did have 6 DACs for the multichannel (three vertical boards, 2 DACs on each). Perhaps that's what you are thinking about.

Regards,
I just bought one from their website. I couldn't afford the SE version, but would like to upgrade in the future. Their website seems to indicate that they will only upgrade players bought before 11/9/2009 and only thru Dec. Why can't they offer the upgrade to anyone, in the future, say for the cost difference between the two, 400 bucks.

Mark.
I have the non-SE version coming and this is by choice, as this version has the better chip, at least as used in the Exemplar modification which is what I am getting.

Better chip? Which chip?

Finding yourself listening to the music instead of the sound of the player is a good sign.
