While I appreciate your concerns about the BDP-83 not being Region / Zone free as a past owner might expect from Oppo, I'm new to Oppo and my needs are different.
I'm mainly looking for a "Universal" BD player that also has excellent audio quality for CDs and SACDs. I know of only one other BD player that can handle SACD and that would be the $4500 unit from Denon. There may be others that I'm not aware of but for $499 I'm willing to give Oppo a try.... or some others in this price range if any others exist.

- You certainly have the right to that opinion, but if you poll most folks I bet they'd find this specification confusing. - Audiophilander 09:59:23 07/01/09 (0)
