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.

Amen to either the Cambridge or the OPPO

I have the CAMBRIDGE in a discrete stand-alone AV system and my audiophile buddy has the OPPO. They are so, so similar to each other under the hood... Not much to choose between them ....His OPPO may have a small edge in the menu / set-up function

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.
