Hopefully ASI can bring the price down to $1K so we call can enjoy the unit.
Modded Oppo 983
I received my modded Oppo 983 from ASi Tek last Saturday right on schedule. Doug has been a pleasure to talk to and work with.I had a look inside and the work is very clean and well done.
I was very surprised that right out of the box the 983s sound was very smooth and completely balanced. What really struck me though was the space and air.
The sound coming from this player is transparent yet has body, revealing and detailed yet smooth and relaxed. The sound just swells and washes over,through,and beyond you. The highs are very extended and airy,the mids are lush yet clear,and the bass is deep and articulate.
There is space space all over the place with this player. The sound of my system has transcended my room. My system has finally reached that point where I feel like I have been transported to the event. I had no idea that my speakers could sound this good. This player has shown me just how important every link of the chain really is.
Music is being presented to me in a totally different way now, it is no longer tied to my speakers in any way. This gives so much more realism to everything. Music is pretty incredible and movies are simply fantastic! The picture is stunning and movie sound just blows me away. I am left reeling from the 3 dimensional sound and realism with this player in my system.
If you can't tell, I have been floored by this modded 983.
