I heard one in my system yesterday, brought over by a friend, and not yet entirely broken in. The SACD performance, compared with my own Oppo 980H, was significantly better (richer, fuller-bodied). The CD performance was maybe a little better tan the 980H, but not in the same league as my Raysonic CD-128. I'd characterize the CD performance as okay for the price. Maybe further break-in would change the picture.
OPPO BDP 83 as Redbook player?
Hey guys,
I would really like to hear what you guys think of the BDP 83 when it comes to 2 channel music playback.
After recently selling my Jolida JD-100 CDP along with my amp and preamp in order to downsize my system a bit I was thinking about getting a universal player that will handle HT duties, but most important to me, be a good redbook player.
I do have a handful of Hybrid CDs in my collection so the SACD abilities would also be a bit of a bonus.
Right now I am using a cheapo Denon DVD-1730 which has been "good enough" for HT but does not cut it for music.
Would a better option be adding the Cambridge Audio DacMagic to the Denon?
Or eventually, perhaps both the Oppo and Dac?
