Has anyone else had an issue with the loader door on their OPPO not wanting to open. I called OPPOO and they gave me an RMA for a free repair.

Yup, had the same thing on my BDP-80 (same as the BDP-83 but without the Anchor Bay video processing built in). I had to tap on the drawer a few times to get it to open. They issued me a Return Authorization number for a free repair.

Well, what do you know? I have the same problem with my BDP-83 so thanks for posting Oppo will fix it at no charge. On the other hand I almost had everyone in the house convinced we "needed" a new BDP-103.

On the other hand I almost had everyone in the house convinced we "needed" a new BDP-103. There must be a place in the house where an orphaned BDP 83 could go to live. I have the first version of the BDP 103 (there is a D variant now) and have been quite happy. On my 51" Samsung plasma Blu Ray disk are stunning. With the OPPO doing the video and the M 975 handling the audio decoding it is a great combo.

It cost $40 to ship it from NC to Ca fully insured via UPS. I told the UPS guy that if they lost it or destroyed it somehow, it wouldn't break my heart as I would just buy the 103D for the extra $100.

OK, a bit off topic....I have an Oppo DV-980H (my BDP-83 replaced it) in the wings for my 2-channel system. Other than SACD I was going to feed the digital output of the 980H into my Cambridge Audio DACMagic and call it good. Well, I guess if the 83's tray issue was enough to get a 103 the "orphaned" 83 could go into the 2-channel rig after the tray was miraculously repaired. I wonder if the 83's 2-channel DAC would sound better than the DACMagic? Thoughts?

I would try it both ways just to do it but the Cambridge DAC should have an edge over the standard OPPO BDP-83. The SE variant of the BDP-83 has some specialized audio processing but even that would be considered out of date at this point.

From what I have read the BDP-83s DACs can hang with the best of its generation. I have not been able to ascertain which flavor of DAC is in the 83 but as long as its bit rate and depth are the same I would not expect much difference.

From what I have read the BDP-83s DACs can hang with the best of its generation. Of its generation being the key words. Here is an excerpt from a Home Theater Review article from 2009 (the 83's generation) Performance-wise, I have no criticisms of the Oppo BDP-83, which is an amazing statement, considering the player's low price and ambitious list of performance features. Yes, the audiophile in me would have liked to see the inclusion of better analog audio circuits, but I realize that this player was not designed to be a cost-no-object, reference-grade audio source The OP did not give the age of his Cambridge Audio DAC but anything newer than 2010 would be an improvement to the analogue out of the BDP-83
