Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE


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.

I have the non-SE version coming and this is by choice, as this version has the better chip, at least as used in the Exemplar modification which is what I am getting.

Better chip? Which chip?

Finding yourself listening to the music instead of the sound of the player is a good sign.
Kr4, It doesn't use "The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. "
I emailed Oppo about the upgrade, since I got the standard version and wanted to see if I could upgrade later. You can not upgrade your regular version player unless you bought it before 11/9/2009. Upgrades will not be offered to anyone who bought the standard unit after that date. You will have to sell your unit and then by the official SE unit. I see that there are some companies offering upgrades and I may take that route in the future.

Mark.
