Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT

I have a BDP-103 and was wondering if anybody has experience doing A/B tests with both players with regards to HDMI output. Is the BDP-105 identical to the BDP-103 with regards to HDMI output as is suggested in the specs? I know the BDP-105 has a better power supply, so I was wondering if there is a big difference. If I were to get the 105, I would have no use for the analog outs.

Unless you are going to use the analog outputs, they should be identical through the HDMI. The power supply really makes the difference for the analog.

Was your screen (TV/projector) calibrated with the 83SE before the mod? If so, that would make perfect sense that you get a better picture with a modded 83SE than with the 103. Otherwise, the video processor in the 103 is superior to that in the 83SE... If you connect the 103 and calibrate your picture with that, then you should be able to achieve a picture quality that surpasses what you've seen with the modded 83SE.

With that said, the 83SE is not a bad bluray player... we're talking incremental improvements, not night and day.
