Oppo BDP-83 SE

Consider this Blu-ray player if: you want everything that Oppo's original BDP-83 had to offer, but with substantially better sound quality that makes particular gains in the areas of resolution, focus, three-dimensionality and overall refinement. The player's ability to dig deep into recordings to retrieve key bits of low-level musical detail is very impressive, easily enabling the Special Edition to compete with players two, three, or perhaps four times its price. In short, this is the Oppo built by and for hardcore audiophiles.
