Oppo BDP-83 SE vs McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe

Hi There,

Wanted to know if someone did A/B between Oppo 83 and McCormack UDP-1? Oppo 83 version (Reg or SE or Nuforce) VS McCormack UDP version (Reg or Deluxe).

My own feeling is, there is little sense in investing in a McCormack UDP in 2011, given Oppo 83 SE used could be had for about $700 (with BD support, FW upgrade, cust service etc. etc.).

But, wanted to confirm nonetheless, as I have McCormack DNA225 amp + RLD-1 pre (and there seems to be a good deal on UDP-1 Deluxe).

thanks,
Paul

Paul,

Not Kal responding, but my Sony XA5400ES is set up to output either HDMI or analog XLR to my Cary Cinema 11a processor. I prefer the HDMI even for stereo, but a well done bit-streamed multichannel SACD tips the scale heavily in favor of HDMI. My impression is that the Cary Cinema 11a is an excellent choice for audio quality.
