It’s been a long (long!) time coming, but we’re thrilled to finally be able to say that OPPO’s multifaceted BDP-83 is shipping en masse to those willing to part with five bills. During our time with the player, we were duly impressed with most every aspect, and if you’re still on the hunt for a Blu-ray player that can spin DVD-Audio and SACD on the side, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better option than this. So, who’s taking the plunge?

The BDP-83 supporting a huge range of optical disc formats including SACD, DVD-Audio, DVD Up-Conversion, MKV, HDCD, and more in addition to Blu-Ray support, the BDP-83 is truly a universal player. Boasting Anchor Bay’s VRS technology to ensure the finest picture quality and a full 1080p, 60hz output, Oppo has their sights set high, and the individual analog 7.1 outputs send a rich Dolby TrueHD signal out to speakers.
