I have a Pioneer 45A universal player that I use for regular Cd's. I am looking for a blu Ray player (I only watch movies with 2 ch audio) which has good redbook ability. The Oppo's have good reviews but many say they lack in the redbook department. I'm wondering if I should just get a basic Panasonic Blue-Ray and keep the Pionner for Cd playback. Comments please
There are several well regarded companies modding the Oppo 83 SE for that very purpose of providing high quality two channel (or multi-channel) audio. Check out ModWright, EVS, and RAM. Prices for two of those mods are quite reasonable ranging from $950 to $1,435 when you supply the player, and the other goes up to $3,295. Of course, the ultimate "mod" to the 83 SE will be Ayre's DX-5 at about $10K.
