If the price/performance ratio of this $899 player (as listed on OPPO's web site) is comparable to their past offerings this should be the mother of all giant killers.
Clio09 that may be true regarding DAC in the standard BDP-83 when it comes to that particular mod. I guess we'll all have to wait until the relative merits of the ESS DAC chipset can be ascertained.
11-17-09: Tbg Cmalak, as I have said, Exemplar is moding the BDP83.
Granted.
Kr4, your saying the fact is the new chipset is superior doesn't make it so.
I had auditioned the new chipset as a demo board. One can also look at the specs.

The mod, in and of itself, does not change the capabilities of the chips. The integrated performance of each entire configuration should be judged as an entity.
Kr4, I anxiously await the Exemplar moded Oppo, but know two others with them whose opinions I greatly respect. I guess that I should not be reflecting their impressions and await being able to make my own. I must also respect information that I have directly from John Tucker. So far now I should just say that I could have bought the SE, but chose to not do so.
