Oppo DV-983H

[Ext User(Blaircam)]

FINALLY!
The new up-converting universal Oppo with ABT and 7.1 ch audio appears to be
available - albeit as a pre-order for mailing 10 March.
Check it out at oppodigital.com - a snap at US$399 + US$70 postage
(=AU$506.47 according to xe.com).
Unfortunately I can't seem to locate the specs but the anticipation was high
for this unit.
Apparently there is a better way. My old friends at merlin audio design are
taking pre-orders on this unit at $450 delivered from an Australian based
retailer. By all accounts this is a seriously kick-ass unit and (IMHO) a
bargain at Merlin's price.
I'm getting one as soon as my wife will let me!

has a review.

Looks nice, but my next player will have to do blu-ray.
