Welcome me to the 1990's!

FWIW, I didn't know about the Benchmark test or the DVDO processessing chip's ranking.

Here is the Secrets DVD Benchmark Review of the Oppo 983: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cd-dv...rk-review.html

The benchmark technical primers are located here: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/prime...dvd-benchmark/

And finally, the fun part; the results of the benchmarks. Select View All Players from the drop-down menu, this may take a few seconds to load. http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/exter...benchmark.html

The results haven't been updated for 2008 yet, but this is the authoritative DVD benchmark site, and in fact the benchmarks here are what initially led to the Oppo cult-following on AVS Forums.
