No idea what they sell it for.. Check with them. You will be pleasantly surprised at the sound quality for the price you are paying.

I've had the OPPO DV 981 HD for9 months now and am very happy with it.
I use it 99% as a stereo source and can confidently vouch for what has been stated viz that it'll match CD players costing much more-you only have to go their site and follow the links to rave reviews in prestigious magazinnes.
I got it for Rs 9400 (USD 229)since my brother brot it in for me.
AV sell it for around Rs 24000 +, which is the mother of rip offs.
Yes, its better than Marantz 6001.
And, its abut the best player of DVD's at that price point-you have to see what it does to DVD's when hooked up to a LCD/Plasma TV to believe!
Go for it-get someone coming back from abroad to bring in a piece for you; better still, get two & sell one off at a profit!

"AV sell it for around Rs 24000 +, which is the mother of rip offs."

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks and regards

Dear Ashok,

Marantz products are as such very reliable.
The Cd 5001 is a cracking player at that price, do consider.
Other options - Nad and Cambridge Audio. Hear these and decide accordingly.
All the best.

Hi Ashok

Even though Oppa Digital is a very good DVD player , a dedicated CD will make a lot of difference . as SNV said Marantz CD 5001 is a beautiful player for the money and i am sure that it will be much better then a DVD player costing twice or thrice more. Give it a try

regards

I am pretty sure that the Oppo will beat the Marantz 5001 in audio reproduction.

Although I don't own the Oppo (hardly watch movies), I have done an A/B with the Oppo and a Theta Compli (both connected to a Theta Cassanova) and the Oppo sounded better IMO.

Oppo sounds better than even the Marantz 6001-read some reviews, as I suggested earlier.

If nothing else works out, the Cambridge Audio DVD-89 is a fairly competent player at Rs. 12,000. It is a universal player that supports DVD, CD, SACD, DVD-A, DIVX, etc. If you don't care for high-def audio (SACD, DVD-A) then its older brother the 540D V2 (15k) produces fairly good CD sound as well. Both are a good compromise, as any non-dedicated CD player will be.

Dear Ashok,

The Modded cd67 version sounds excellent for the price.
Give this cd player a serious consideration.
