For diehard DVD fans, the Oppo DV-983H is the holy grail of DVD players that delivers both outstanding picture quality and value. It's no wonder the Net is abuzz with speculation after the company released
new teasers on its upcoming Blu-ray player. If everything turns out according to its plan, the Oppo BDP-83 is going to be the world's first "true" universal player that supports Blu-ray, DVD-Video, Super Audio CD, CD and possibly DVD-Audio from a single box.
Another carrot is the BDP-83's onboard Anchor Bay VRS chipset which is found on other high-end external video processors. This should give the kit enough "horsepower" for enhanced DVD upscaling performance, while the 7.1-channel analog audio and HDMI outputs cover Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound decoding. The Oppo BDP-83 currently has a projected street price of between US$500 and US$1,000.

Disappointing that there is no DVD-Audio at this point; ergo, not a true universal.
Hope Oppo sorts that one out before launch!
