From their comparison page Oppo does not recommend the BD80 for large screen home theater. I wonder how the video performance of this player is lacking compared to the BD83 for them to say that? The lack of a separate stereo output (shares the 7.1 connections) isn't a deal breaker for me, I'm currently using the 5.1 outputs of my Oppo DVD player for music and the digital audio for home theater. My current receiver doesn't have HDMI so I plug the HDMI from the DVD to the TV and use the digital audio to the receiver. I'm not sure what the DSD-PCM business means.
Glad to see they now have three choices here, but I'm wondering if the BD-83 will now go away leaving only the BD80 and BD83-deluxe.
