Wonder if the Outlaws will be selling the Oppo 95 when it becomes readily available (like they did with the 83SE)?

It wouldn't be a bad idea - the BDP-95's an impressive piece of gear. I had mine briefly paired with an RR2150 and pair of Outlaw Bookshelves before I moved the BDP-95 into the den and shipped back my BDP-93 beta sample. Are you still using the SE? I'd think this would be great in your 2 ch system.

I'm seriously considering one for my 2 channel system, though I'm also looking at the 93. I've read it is pretty good as well. Sold my 83SE a while ago figuring I'd get into this millenium and go with streaming audio for my music. I miss my CD player now!

I've heard only good things about both units. I'm still running the BDP-83SE and don't plan to upgrade, but if I had to switch, I'd go with the 95. You can't go wrong with better DACs and I consider the 2ch output a necessity.

With the price difference at $500, I'm kind of wondering about the appreciable difference of going with the 95. John Johnson over at Secrets tested both (and the NuForce modified 93): http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/blu-ray-p...ce.html?start=2My ears are 'older' too so I wonder if I'd really notice the difference. Sounds like the NuForce Edition did sound different though, and it's 'only' a $400 premium over the base 93!

Looking forward to the Gonk take on the BDP-95. I'm glad your enjoying the BDP-83SE in 2ch mode. Mine's in my HT setup, but spends half it's life playing 2ch to the 990 thru a Grant Fidelity tube buffer. I couldn't be happier with the results.

I am starting to think that Gonk has more disc players than I have CDs

The BDP-83SE is in the living room two-channel system, where it works very nicely.
As for the differences between the BDP-93 and BDP-95, I do think that the move to the BDP-95 represents a case of diminishing returns. Both are very good players. For a great many people, the BDP-93 will be a great solution. The actual sound quality differences between the two aren't night-and-day sorts of changes, in large part because the BDP-93 is doing a very fine job to begin with. The BDP-95 puts some nice polish on it (both the updated analog section and the front panel design). That being said, if you are in the market for a player and your budget is anything close to or above $1,000 then the BDP-95 deserves consideration.
This reminds me - I need to try to write up some sort of BDP-95 review to keep my BDP-93 review company... Gonk, When it comes to changes from their previous models, primarily the BDP83, it would seem, among other things, in the BDP 93 & 95, Oppo has dispensed with the ABT video processing and moved over to what seems to be the latest and greatest "Q Video" processing system which is also now installed in the new, just recently introduced Onkyo entry level AVRs. Up until now, I honestly, had never heard of this company before, however, I would be interested in getting your take on this new video processing which seems to be making quite a substantial breakthrough in the A/V community.
