You mean this: BDP-93? I had not seen that page. Very interesting read. Also interesting that they've got a higher-end player (similar to BDP-83SE) in the works that will be more than just an upgraded version of this player.

Kind of makes you wonder how much different the "SE" version will be?????

According to Oppo, there won't be a SE "version" of the 93, but instead a ground-up designed high end BD player (concentrating on the analogue audio).

I am in no hurry to jump on the 3-D bandwagon so I will wait for BDP-93HE (high end)... wink

I really like the fact that oppo has included so many audio and video formats in their video players. Oppos are, for the vast majority of folks, universal players and work very well in systems used for both music and movies. However, I wonder if now is the time for oppo to consider a high end audio only player. My rationale is that at some point folks separate their stereo and HT systems and it becomes a waste to have all that video processing power in a player (e.g. BPB-83SE) used in a stereo rig. The BDP-93 seems to fill the video side of this equation with its lack of analog audio. Anybody want to speculate oppo will surprise the industry and produce a high end "CD" player?

Well, they kind of need to leave some video section in there - formats like BD (which is starting to offer some great audio options) and DVD-A basically require it. Once you have some sort of video section, it's worth leaving in there and beefing up the analog side, similar to what the BDP-83SE does.

There was a report on AVS that someone called Netflix to ask about the BDP-93 and was told that both the BDP-93 and the BDP-95 are in the works. Should be curious to see what the BDP-95 might offer as a successor in spirit to the 83SE.

I thought I read someplace the BD Audio format could play without video as does SACD. If that is the case that leaves DVD-A which might have to be sacrificed for an audio only player. I don't want to start a big discussion between the supporters of SACD and DVD-A but it would be amazing to have the SE's Sabre 32 DACs (or?) and lossless audio! I think I could live without DVD-A in a player to have a piece of gear that would slay the CD market as oppo has done with DVD/BluRay and have BluRay Audio. If DVD-A was absolutely necessary the player could have a basic video section and a composite out so the DVD-A menus could be displayed.

Oooooo. Confirmation of the BDP-95. oppo continues to smoke the competition!

My BDP-83 does a pretty fine job on CDs already. Why make another piece of gear with fewer features?

Yes BD can be audio only. I know that 2Ls Flute Mystery is audio only with the exception of a banner screen that also allows selection of 2 channel or 5.1 channel DTS-HD formats.
