oppo 83 se or oppo 83

For CD only, mebbe but, overall, I would suggest the SE if you are using the analog outputs for all audio.

There is no difference between them for HDMI and the only PS differences are to support the different needs of the DACs.

1. This is something that has been going on for a while with both legal and illegal adapters, both external and internal.

2. The typical device referred to is the Octava which, of course, will only output 2channels over optical.

3. Did the commentator compare it with the 83SE? (Of course, all such comparisons are DAC-dependent.)

Yes, the Atlona functions similarly to most of these units like the Octava and, in fact, the Atlona looks identical to the old CLUX 11SA. For me, the lack of multichannel digital output (except for lossy Toslink) is a problem.

BTW, that the Weiss DAC2 or other high quality DAC makes an improvement is great but not surprising. (Similar results with my Meridian processor.)
