BluRay Player Recommendation

I would like to advice regarding bluray player recommendation. I have been looking at the Oppo 93 based on the previous model and all of the reviews are fantastic.

However, I am not sure if I need or will notice the quality. We will using it primarily for watching movies and occassionally listening to CDs.

Our setup is a Pioneer 50" Plasma, Integra 7.9 Receiver and Revel M22 speakers for left and right channel, C12 center channel and B & W CCM 80 in the rear ceiling.

thanks for the help.

I assume with any of these you should turn the video processing off on the receiver, right? I was looking through the owners manual of my Integra and found you can set the resolution to Auto, 1080p, 1080i, etc or through.

Comments?

thanks

With a 50" Pioneer (KURO?) you will certainly notice the video quality of the Oppo. The Oppo is simply a stunning piece and its for SACD, BluRay, etc is just great. Upscaling is top notch too. I cannot speak for the Cambridge unit, but can certainly give highest marks to the Oppo

I own a Pioneer BDP09 and like it a lot. I was surprised to see one available on Audiogon yesterday for $699. It was $2200 new. Someone will get a great deal! (No, I'm not the seller).

I recommend the Marantz UD5005. Fabulous player. Just got mine about one month ago. Terrific.

Thanks for the help - I decided to go with the Oppo. I liked that I could connect it directly to the TV for video and bypass any processing by the reciever.

The picture is outstanding.
