Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE

Cmalak, I read that at Oppo site before posting, but IMO only another audiophile can tell us what the mods mean in terms of improved music performance.

I'm not impressed with Oppo sound as I already mentioned in an earlier post on this thread. My Pioneer Blue Ray was more musical than the Oppo but the Oppo is better on Blue Ray.

If the Oppo mod made mine better than the Pioneer Blue Ray I would go for it. I have a VERY old Rotel CD player and even it sounds better than my Oppo. I know others have had better experience but that's mine so far.

Albert...here's the official thread on AVSForum on the BDP-83 SE...http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1194011

So far most of the posts in this thread are all pointing to other reviews and opinions. Is there anyone actually own a BDP-83SE?

No, but soon I will be hearing the OPPO BDP-83SE NuForce Edition in my 2-channel system.

My BDP-83 is at OPPO being ungraded as we speak. I dropped it off yesterday evening so given the 4-5 business days turn around I expect it early next week. Promise to give you my first impressions. Not sure how long of a break-in this mod might need.
