Have you had time to re-run Audyssey?
I tried to set up the SMS-1 and then run Audyssey and I don't like how the sub sounds, too loud and boomy. I need to try Audyssey and then the SMS-1.
Do you know of a way to see the EQ settings that are appllied with Audyssey ingaged?

This is an interesting development: a BDP-83 Special Edition is now available that has the RS-232 port standard and adds an upgraded ESS-based analog section along with some upgrades to the power supply. Here's a picture of the new analog board: The whole package sells for $900.

I wonder how much better the audio section will sound? Damn, I just need a bigger bank account!

This is very interesting for those of us using the analog outputs on the BDP-83, especially with an upgrade offered for $299 for existing owners. I have been tweaking the set-up of the stereo outputs and been very happy with the results. The question is if I will stop using the analog outputs for HDMI benefits if/when I go to the 997 or other pre-amp solution in the future? The current BDP-83 analog output is pretty darn good but it sounds like for just $299 I can get a high end improvement. Love to see some reviews.

OPPO Recommendations: - BDP-83 Special Edition: For use with high-end audio systems via analog audio connections.
- BDP-83: For use with all audio systems via HDMI and digital optical/coaxial connections
So this is for the analog connection crowd.

Well, crap. I just ordered a BDP-83 yesterday.
I'm not sure I can justify an extra $400 for these improvements, but I certainly would have considered it.
Hmm...

Hmm... If you call them right away you may be able to upgrade the order before they ship it.

A question for the Outlaws. I use the stereo analog output of the BDP-83 to the CD input of my 950 (and would sometimes use this in the future on the 997). I do NOT use the Bypass mode so that I can engage 7 Channel Stereo. Since I allow the 950 to process the signal via DSP, am I defeating the quality of the BDP-83 DACs? If yes then this analogue upgrade may not help me in the stereo mode. I would still see some benefit of the multi-channel outputs using input.
