I ordered my BDP-83 a couple of hours ago. I recieved notice on 6/24, but have been debating whether or not to spend this much for something that I may or may not use often. But I've put off purchasing a BD player for over a year now, waiting on Oppo to come out with one, so I went ahead and ordered it. Many of the comments in this forum helped me to decide to do so, and I thank all of you for that. (I'll blame you later if I'm disappointed. Just kidding. ) Jeff

Oh, you won't be disappointed with the BDP-83. I assume it will go into your HT so it will be quite a step up from 971H for DVDs and Blurays are amazing both for video but also audio decoded in the BDP-83. Plus it does SACD, DVD-A, etc, etc. I don't have a 1080p display and all that extra data on a BD disc creates a very nice picture. I'd expect you to easily notice improvement using your projector.

Enjoy, folks... Gonk, I assume that I should be looking at the setup guide for the 1050 as the basis for my 1070? Is that correct?

Gonk, First I want to Thank You for all the good work you do on these forumns. I really do appreciate the articles you write and have learned a great deal from them as well as your posts. I have a question for you about your BDP-83 setup guides. I noticed on the guide for the 990 (the only one I looked at, since that is what I have)that you made no reference to using the analog stereo outputs. Although I have a 5.1 system I quite often listen to stereo CDs. Personally I don't enjoy the 5ch stereo option or any of the other digital conversions. I guess I am kind of a purist in that regard. OK, back to my point. I have done quite a bit of A/B testing myself and with others and we are all in agreement that the DACs for the stereo outputs sound much better than the multi-channel ones. BTW, this was a stereo to stereo test. I connected the analog stereo outputs to the CD analog inputs. If you haven't tried this I think you will be pleasantly surprised. On a similar note, again after doing quite a bit of A/B testing, IMHO, I think the multi-channel DACs in the BDP-83 are far bettor sounding then the 990's. Therefore, my only connections from the BDP-83 to my 990 are the two sets of analog outputs. Furthermore, I run the video over a HDMI cable straight to my TV. My thought being fewer cable and fewer connections could only improve things. Well, that's just my two cents. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. Thank You, Mark D. Rodriguez

I got a present today from OPPO, a set of blue lenses for calibrating my display and an AIX audio disk for audio calibration. I assume all of you will get them as well.
The package arrived unannounced from Customer Service.

Like Bob Backer today I received the AIX disc and blue lenses for the Spears and Munsil disc today. This is just one more reason I like OPPO. Besides a great product they back it up, even unsolicited, I'm looking forward to trying out AIX disc.
