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."
