Oppo DBP-83 SE

Sure. There are comments all over the Internet. There's a dedicated thread on AVSforum, too.

drjoe...here's a thread on the BDP83SE on Agon: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1257879751

I am actually busy writing mine this evening.

Oh, it is a BDP-83SE.

I have one and am impressed and depressed at it. It sounds great buuutttt,,, the damn thing clips the output on its analog out after 7 minutes of playback using any format,,SACD DVD-A CD DVD or Blu Ray. The HDMI signal is fine but why buy the SE and not use the analog outs?
They are fully aware of this problem, yet they haven't done anything to repair it so far. Somebody's getting fired on this one is my thought.
Its clips the output 3 times briefly, then plays fine for as long as you listen. Would seem the inspection process at Oppo needs to actually listen before shipping products.

I received my 83SE from Oppo about three weeks ago. Sound is quite good out of the box with both SACD's and CD's (although not as good as my Esoteric SA50).

Re the clipping...I have not noticed that. But I live in an apartment therefore volume levels are kept at reasonable levels.

Did you get clipping only at quite high volumes? Have you discussed this with Oppo? Perhaps the Oppo should be returned in order to get their attention.
