Blu-ray/DVD/SACD/DVD-Audio/CD universal disc player; outstanding image quality on Blu-rays and DVDs; best-in-class operational speed and stability; 7.1 analog outputs; feels built to last; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Profile 2.0...
Expensive; competing players offer comparable performance on vast majority of Blu-ray movies; no Wi-Fi for BD-Live features; lacks streaming media services such as YouTube.
Abstract: The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray player is an incredible player primarily because it is a universal Blu-ray player. It basically does it all. Not only does it play Blu-ray discs, it also plays DVD-Audio, SACD and DVD videos and CDs. I, for one, find it extreme...
The OPPO BDP-83 looks like an innocent classic device on the outside, but it bears a ton of features combined with excellent performance and an easy user interface. At $499, it is obviously not the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market and will not be ...

The Oppo BDP-83 is an outstanding universal disc player with excellent performance on Blu-rays and DVDs and lightning-fast operational speed, but most home theater fans will balk at the high price.
