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.

Sidssp, Cmalak and Kdibello:

If you read the link to the Oppo web page provided in Cmalak's post, you will see that only BDP-83s purchased before November 9, 2009 are eligible for the SE upgrade.

You might be able to buy a used BDP-83 for which the seller had the purchase receipt - Oppo's web page doesn't expressly say the person requesting the upgrade has to be the original owner. However, picking up a used one might be hard - they are relatively new and none are currently listed for sale on Audiogon. Also, you have to complete your purchase and send the unit to Oppo before the upgrade offer expires on December 31, 2009.

Are you describing the Cambridge 840C or the Oppo 83SE? I thought you were describing the Cambridge 840C, because you just received your Oppo 83SE and are waiting for it to break in [presumably before commenting on its sound]. However, it seems that the next poster, Jp1208, thought you were describing the Oppo.
