OPPO - BDP-83 SE BLU-RAY PLAYERThe Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition is The Player to Beat for Under a Thousand Dollars! The Award-Winning Oppo Blu-ray Player Gets a HUGE Upgrade in the Form of the BDP-83SE! For a Limited-Time, buy an Oppo BDP-83SE and get a FREE $225 AudioQuest HDMI Cable!* “The BDP-83SE is a big deal for a reasonably low-priced product ($899). The two-channel performance of the Oppo BDP-83SE, playing PCM or DSD recordings, was always a significant improvement over the [$500] BDP-83. A no-brainer!” “The player’s ability to dig deep into recordings to retrieve key bits of low-level musical detail is very impressive, easily enabling the Special Edition to compete with players two, three, or perhaps four times its price… Trust me on this one: nothing I’ve heard that’s even remotely close to the Special Edition’s $899 price can touch its sound quality… at the $899 I can safely say the Oppo Special Edition is in a class of its own. This is the Oppo built by and for serious music lovers, and if you are one you may find this Special Edition Oppo is an even bigger bargain than the standard model. I certainly do!” “Oppo clearly has a dominant performer on its hands. It will appeal to a select group of audiophile-oriented videophiles… you know who you are. The BDP-83SE us an outright steal at $899. No matter how much you’ve got to throw at a Blu-ray player, you need to look at this Oppo!” Oppo has long been known for offering unbelievable performance at extremely reasonable prices, the BDP-83 SE is no exception. Regardless of which format you choose to play, the BDP-83 SE is outstanding. The BDP-83 SE offers superior audio performance with wide bandwidth capabilities, very low distortion, deeper soundstage and noticeably improved tonal balance. Video performance is also improved, with deeper black levels and greater image stability thanks to the various improvements to the power supply. The BDP-83 SE features ESS Technology's new Sabre32 Ultra and Sabre Premier DAC chips, capable of achieving 128dB of dynamic range, these are the current state of the art for digital audio conversion. These ESS chips are even designed to eliminate jitter, a distortion inherent in many inferior DAC chipsets. These ESS chipsets give the BDP-83 SE a smoother, more powerful, more musical presentation. "The ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC incorporates innovative patented circuits to deliver spectacular music with up to 128dB dynamic range and 0.0003% (-110dB) total harmonic distortion, free from clock jitter common in digital audio systems." Oppo also revised and upgraded the analog output section using higher quality parts, which makes the music more natural sounding, richer and more textured. The BDP-83 SE has greater rhythmic drive and greater subtlety, allowing it to convey more lifelike tempos and cadence. All the upgrades to the digital section and the analog section required some substantial changes to the power supply; this new, larger better regulated power supply feeds the BDP-83 SE cleaner power, delivering deeper and blacker backgrounds, with explosive dynamic range, giving the music room to breathe and expand into your room. A word on hi-rez audio formats: the BDP-83 SE supports both SACD and DVD-Audio, in either stereo or multichannel. It will also output both these formats via the HDMI output! SACD lovers get to choose between native DSD output or PCM conversion.It's not possible to talk about Oppo players without mentioning their video performance. Put simply, Oppo players dominate the video domain. They offer outrageously good performance in every possible measurement with every media they support. The BDP-83 SE takes that performance even further, using the much lauded VRS chipset from Anchor Bay. Smoother, cleaner and more true-to-life than any other chipset we've seen, the VRS chipset offers excellent decoding of Blu-ray discs and DVDs alike with one of the quickest mechanisms we've ever had the delight of playing with. To ensure your system is properly calibrated, Oppo thoughtfully includes a couple of very useful Blu-ray discs. The first is the Spears & Muncil HD Benchmark Disc, which is perhaps the best disc available for calibrating your HD display. The second tool is the AIX Blu-Ray Sampler, which include not only HD Video of various performances, but HD Audio as well, to ensure proper musical performance. The HDMI output supports HDMI v1.3 and will also do Deep Color, to a display that supports it. For those with 2.35:1 anamorphic lens systems on their projectors, the BDP-83 does vertical stretch, allowing for Constant Image Height! The BDP-83 SE remote is easy to hold, intuitive and in a first for Oppo, backlit! The BDP-83 SE sports dual high-speed USB 2.0 ports, allowing those of you with libraries on hard drives or USB sticks to access it instantly and easily through the Oppo's menu system. “The Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition is significantly improved over the already good standard BDP-83. The BDP-83 Special Edition provides exceptional performance through its analog audio outputs that easily compete with other players in the $5,000 and under price range. I upgraded my standard BDP-83 to the Special Edition and am very happy that I did!” Oppo takes the performance of their players very seriously and they continually offer software updates to their players. Please check the link below regularly for all available updates for the BDP-83SE, which uses the same software as the BDP-83. *For a Limited Time, we are giving away a 2.0m Audioquest HDMI-1 with the purchase of an Oppo BDP-83SE. Longer lengths are available at highly discounted prices, see drop-down menu on this page for pricing. Should the Oppo player be returned for any reason, the HDMI-1 cable will need to be returned as well or the current selling price of the cable will be deducted from the total amount of the return.
