Oppo 983 Universal DVD player

[blackraven]

I came across a new universal player from Oppo called the 983H for $399 while browsing audioholics web site. Does any one know anything about it or seen any reviews on it?

Looks interesting. Their website also shows that they brought a 3 X HDMI switcher to market also. I wonder how much of an improvement it is over my 981?

I'd love to read some reviews on it as I was thinking of buying another Marantz SA8001 or Marantz DV7001 universal player for SACD since my wife wants me too. The $399 price is just right.

Not really complete reviews but off their website....

Here's a decent review http://www.prillaman.net/oppo983_review.html

I would love to see a comparison to the Marantz DV7001, SA8001 players as well as the CA DVD99 universal player.

Well, that makes it harder not easier...

I guess it's the right step for those of us who may skip BR and wait for the next breakthrough in video streaming/downloading/VOD.
