SoundStage! Network Reviewers' Choice Award     

OPPO DV-983H 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player - Reviewers' Choice from SoundStage!

"If you, like me, have a nice collection of DVDs, I can't imagine any DVD player beating the OPPO DV-983H...The OPPO was so clear and so unflappable that my eyes actually relaxed while watching it."

"The DV-983H played SACD and DVD-Audio discs with amazing sonic clarity. Using the OPPO's HDMI output to feed my Integra DTC-9.8, I began with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon [SACD, Capitol CDP 582136 2]. Alan Parsons' recording still sounds remarkably good, and the detail and transparency were as good as I've heard in my system.... and the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus just burst out of the speakers."

SECRETS OF HOME THEATER AND HIGH FIDELITY: OPPO Digital DV-983H DVD Player
A Secrets DVD Player Benchmark Review

By Kris Deering, February, 2008

"If you're looking for reference video playback performance, this is it. OPPO has produced one heck of a machine. Its performance matches any design I've tested to date, and its performance via HDMI with both video and audio is outstanding. My highest recommendation."

SECRETS OF HOME THEATER AND HIGH FIDELITY: Oppo Digital DV-983H DVD Player - The Rest of the Story
A Secrets DVD Player Review
By John E. Johnson, Jr. , March, 2008

"While it is likely we will all be using HDMI from our DVD players to send both audio and video to our SSPs or receivers in the near future, measurement of the analog performance of players is still an indicator of build quality, and the OPPO DV-983H is excellent in this regard."

HDTV SOLUTIONS: OPPO DV-983H DVD Player Review
By Dick De Jong, April 2008

"In the world of upconverting DVD players, the OPPO DV-983H is a videophile's dream machine. It may be overkill for those less discriminating or with smaller displays. I admire OPPO's commitment to delivering both top quality video and audio performance."

CNET.COM REVIEW: OPPO DV-983H
By Matthew Moskovciak, April 2008

"If you're an absolute stickler about image quality, have a large library of DVDs, and can also afford a separate Blu-ray player, the DV-983H is the last disc player you'll need to ensure excellent playback of all your legacy video and audio discs."

[*****] The HT Guys Podcast - Oppo DV-983H 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player
"We really liked the Oppo Digital DV-983H. So who should spend $399 on it? If you are really into movies and have a large collection of DVDs this is the player that will do the best with everything you have. If you have a front projector and don't want to spend $3000 on a video processor this player will do the same thing, at least for your DVDs, for a fraction of the cost. If you are a videophile and you want the absolute best video performance the 983 is for you."

[*****] GIZMODO - Lightning Review: OPPO DV-983H 1080p Up-Converting DVD Player
"At $399, it's a player we'd recommend if you have a gigantic DVD library that you want to keep even when faced with the impending Blu-ray transition. After all, there's no sense in buying a movie again if you can get a somewhat reasonable upscaler (and OPPO's is much more than just somewhat reasonable)."

[*****] Prillaman.Net - Jim Prillaman   OPPO Digital DV-983H User Review
"If you aren't ready to buy into Blu-ray or if you want a player that will wring the most performance possible out of your existing DVD library, the 983H is a player that could serve you well for many years to come."
