I did not expect this. I haven't done a blind test or anytthing, but on several different DVDs on my usual reference scenes - every time on the Oppo the sound seems to be a step-up than with my usual setup. Not off-the charts better, but it is consistently just a little more detailed (I've noticed it both in the front/center channels and in the surround channels).
I didn't expect this. Anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?
My BDP-83 experience has been mainly with an Onkyo 885, but there's a note in my review about an incident in which my wife preferred the sound for CD's when listening to the BDP-83's analog output to the HDMI output (which had the benefit of bass management
and Audyssey correction). She made that observation while reading and trying to ignore my testing of a CD quirk that involved switching back and forth between the two - she picked the analog sound not even knowing what I was doing. That's the point at which I realized just how good the BDP-83's analog section really is.
