"Here we see a glimpse of the highly anticipated Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player. The design features an ABT 2010 solution, has SACD capabilities, possibly may include DVD-Audio, and reportedly will retain the excellent SD performance Oppo has been known for. This player is a Profile 2.0 player and has analog 7.1 outputs. Oppo has always been a value oriented company but no official word on the price point at this time."

Great work absolute phase ........... Good to see dealers supporting companies like Oppo whose main aim is not necessarily to rip people off.

The bluray player only one word 'FULLY LOADED' in the literal sense. Great work by Oppo exactly what the enthusiast expects.

Hi Prithvi,

Congrats on getting your first shipment of the 981.
By any chance, do you intend to stock the 980H?

I am intending to use a HQV REON receiver to do the upscale part, so why use the (slightly inferior) faroujda on the 981?

I think the 980 will be wonderful for cases where we use an external upscaler.. or am i wrong somewhere?

I need to buy either the 981 or the 980H, but at this time i am inclined more towards the 980H..

Learned members... please advise.....

Realactivex:

A quick comparison of the three players in some important areas.

1. In terms of Video the 983H comes on top followed by 981 and then the 980. The 980 uses a special chip designed by Mediatek. Though excellent in it's times, the Anchor Bay and Reon chips are far ahead. The 981 uses DCDi by Fardoudja, and does have a slight edge over the Mediatek engine.

2. In terms of audio, I yet think the 980 is the best. Oppo had used technology from a 'leading audio' company and had borrowed heavily on their technology. The 983 has the same technology for audio, but does not sound as good as the 980. This could be subjective.

3. The VRS by Anchor Bay that is in the 983 could be compared neck to neck with HQV/Reon from Silicon Optix. I cannot make out much difference, though many times I feel the VRS/Oppo does upscaling better. This, I feel, is because of the better implementation of their technology by Oppo. In one movie, "Flight of the Phoenix', I felt the Oppo was able to make me sweat in the desert more than the HQV/Reon. Again, this could be purely subjective. The difference is very minor.

If you are going in for an external upscaling engine such as the HQV/Reon, either the the 980 or the 981 will serve you well. In any case, you are not going to use the upscaling engine within the player. If and when you do connect the player to the TV directly, the 980 is better as it does not have the 'Macroblocking' issues that the 981 could have on large TVs.

Both will serve you very well for two channel music, as well as SACD/DVD-A.
