This player was described by reviewers as having a crystal clear picture. For this oppo 983H player, I just hear the word "crisp" to describe its picture. Does anyone know whether this players picture is as good as my Sony player? - Ken Sack Sun, 16 May 2010 01:24:28 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1680 Dudes, check out this link...this is probs the player to get if you have a big SD collection, and want upscaling plus BD for the future. http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-83/ - Del Sat, 21 Mar 2009 06:37:49 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1639 will the average person (me)notice a difference watching a dvd on the 981 or 983? i have a 981.no cents,spending money to upgrade unless the 983 gives a far better picture than the 981. thanks, mike - mike freeland Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:56:33 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1638 I was thinking of Pioneer, Sony, Panasonic, and Denon...but the BDP-83 Oppo seems to be the one to beat if it is an upgrade to the 983H plus it is a universal player which is what i'm really looking for. I wonder how much it will cost. I hope it doesn't cost as much as the universal player from Denon (Yikes!) - Joe Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:36:23 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1447 I am hoping that the oppo-bdp 83 has built in wireless like the ps3 ,I am waiting for the release.i thought it was due out no later than march 2009.the ps3 is ok ,but I looking for better audio dolby true hd,dts hd master audio.The ps3 cannot process these formats. - tony Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:30:40 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1338 I currently use a Denon 2910 for my vast SD dvd collection. Would this be an upgrade worthy of the price for me? I have bluray already btw. - Mike Sun, 28 Dec 2008 07:42:38 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1298 Frank, Considering that the significant improvements of the DV-983H over the DV-980H (the model I have) pertain particularly to video, I'm fairly certain that the extra cost of the 983 would be wasted for your purposes. Also, of Oppo's current lineup, the only model to offer SACD DSD multi-channel bitstream output over HDMI is the DV-980H... a minor factor I took into consideration when deciding between models, but a factor nevertheless. I have not been the least bit disappointed in the audio quality of the 980. DVD-Audio and SACD quality and performance is outstanding over HDMI and the 7.1 analog outputs. For the price, it simply doesn't get any better... if those two formats are your primary concern. - Michael Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:49:29 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1267 Dear Oppo, I am eagerly awaiting the release of your proposed blu ray machine; can you give me an idea of it's "estimated time of arrival" into my anxious, hot sticky hands? I'm guessing spring 2009; what do you say?? Thank you, now get back to work on that blu ray! - Richard Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:11:54 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1214 Hi all I'm considering buying the 983H unit. I am really only interested in using it for SACD and DVD-A audio. I am an audiophile and work in audio..... and am looking for something that does SACD particularly well.... ie from the unit's own analog outputs. The OPPO 983H looks pretty good ... it seems to be well recommended for its audio playback quality. But I'm wondering whether the OPPO DV-980H wouldn't do the same job audio-wise... considering that video quality is not an issue for me... only audio. Any thoughts on this? Are there any other products anyone is aware of that would do a better job than the Oppo? Thanks for your time regards Frank - Frank Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:53:15 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1096 I thought about purchasing the 983 for its superior upconverting. However, I am very pleased with the PS3 updates that have vastly improved SD DVD performance. I will wait for the OPPO Blu-ray player. I hope it won't be much longer in coming, and I assume it will feature SACD playback. - Mikey Mo Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:14:27 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1042 Good day, Seems I've read many articles on the oppo digital dv-983h dvd player, but no one has yet to mention it's bass management feature set. Does it have speaker delay? In what increments? Does it have crossover mananagement? what is the low pass options?... etc... any help is appreciated - mikewinburn Sat, 13 Sep 2008 19:52:05 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-1036 I have the OPPO DV-980H DVD player which, for the outstanding performance,is a bargain at $170.00. I absolutely love this player which can rival does costing 5X its price. OPPO should seriously consider a Blu-Ray machine soon. If their up scaling machines are superb, can you image an OPPO Blu-Ray player....WOW!!! - Jose Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:47:50 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-956 I currently own an Oppo DV-981H player and i'm really happy with purchasing it about 7 months ago. Now I'm looking forward to taking the plunge into the Blu-ray scene now that blu-ray movies are coming out at the stores at respectable prices. All I'm waiting for now is Oppo Digital to release an awesome player for those discs. I would like to see the player be the equivalent of their new DV-983H flagship model with blu-ray capabilities. But as a hearing impaired person I would also love to see them implement Closed Caption capabilities (Enable/Disable CC thru the player's setup because not all tv's allow users to enable or disable CC on their tv. I own a Pioneer Kuro and it can support CC but only for my satellite connection which i have to enable using my satellite player's setup menu and not on the tv). Other than that keep up the wonderful work Oppo! - Jeremy Smith Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:07:06 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-925 I am looking for a DVD player that can do all this and also play a blu ray disc. I am not a techie but I am looking for a DVD player that plays blu ray dvd ( - r/rw) mp3 pal/ntsc to ntsc output upconverting 1080i/1080p connect a computer and play my video files (mpg/avi etc.) with subtitles .SRT -- sound ?? 983H with blu ray is probably what I am looking for... - MA Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:43:26 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-921 I recently bought an Oppo DV-983H and it blew me away! This is by far the best DVD upscaler. You have to shell out thousands to get just a whisker of extra performance above this machine. If you love your DVD collection, get one! - Paul Tinsley Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:21:45 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-894 I'm looking forward to owning this player.I have had my heart set for the arcam dv 139,but price of 3,000 was too much.If this player can get me 90% of the way there for 15% of the cost I'm sold.I,ve had a Toshiba 9200 that has served me well.I still have a fair amount of dvd audio that I listen to and want to continue to listen to.I haven't seen one Blu ray that is universal yet.Besides they can't even produce a fully functioning unit yet that has update capability and full uncompressed sound (i.e. true dolby hd and dts hd)When they get this straight maybe I'll consider Blu ray. - Bill Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:41:37 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-865 JEJ, I'm refering to the de-interlacing tests, not the "Video Frequency Response". The test results in the newly updated spreadsheet, show that all the de-interlacing tests passed on the component output, instead of HDMI. That's not possible, because the ABT processing in the 983 is applied to the HDMI output only - not to component. - GSB Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:36:52 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-861 The oscilloscope readings can only be collected from the component video output, not the HDMI output. - JEJ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 06:42:37 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-860 The player was tested with the HDMI output, but all the test results are written in the "Component" column. For every test, the "HDMI" column reads "Not Tested". - GSB Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:14:37 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/dvd-players/284-a-secrets-dvd-player-benchmark-review.html#comment-849 The 981 is a great machine. I'm still amazed at how good a DVD upconverted to 720p looks. - Homer Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:22:53 +0100
