OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet?


I have had mine for about a week now and wow it's pretty impressive. The remote has to be aimed right at the player to work. The sound from the balanced outputs seems great, nice tonal balance from top to bottom. Blue-ray's seem to sound the best so far, SACD's are nice. I don't think for the money it can be beat and the video is stunningly good for me anyway, much better than the PS3. The audio is also much better than the PS3 for whatever that is worth, although mine(PS3) will play SACD's I think a real SACD player is better.

Mine did a software update right away when I hooked it up to the network.

I'm sure there will be improvements coming but I like the sheer convenience of having a player that plays it all. I have this one in a strictly 2 channel system, has anyone used the various surround set-up's yet?

Can someone confirm the sampling rate the BDP-95 outputs an SACD that is converted to PCM? I know the BDP-83 output 24 bit, 88.2 kHz. I am wondering whether the newer machine outputs at 24/176.4 or 24/192.

Thanks.

No the 95 does not always convert DSD to PCM. You can set the menu to output DSD at the analog outputs. There is lengthy thread over at AVS that will pretty much tell you everything you want to know about the 95
