Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE

I have the non-SE version coming and this is by choice, as this version has the better chip, at least as used in the Exemplar modification which is what I am getting.

Kr4, I guess neither of us sees the relevancy of the other's concerns.

Kr4, It doesn't use "The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. "

Kr4, sound is the point. I am getting the Exemplar mods. on the OPPO BDP-83 where they work. Exemplar takes this unit to a level that I hope to soon hear. The OPPO BDP-83 SE makes these improvements impossible because of the new chip set.

Cmalak, as I have said, Exemplar is moding the BDP83.

Kr4, your saying the fact is the new chipset is superior doesn't make it so.

Kr4, I anxiously await the Exemplar moded Oppo, but know two others with them whose opinions I greatly respect. I guess that I should not be reflecting their impressions and await being able to make my own. I must also respect information that I have directly from John Tucker. So far now I should just say that I could have bought the SE, but chose to not do so.

Tvad, get a life.
