The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player is an exciting upgrade based on the highly acclaimed BDP-83. The upgrade includes an all new analog audio stage power by the ESS Sabre32 Ultra and Premier Digital-to-Analog Converters and an improved power supply. The Special Edition also includes the RS-232 remote control port, which is optional for the regular BDP-83.
OPPO Digital recommends the BDP-83 Special Edition to customers who primarily use the analog audio output to connect to either a dedicated stereo or a multi-channel surround system. For customers who primarily use the HDMI output to connect to an A/V receiver or directly to a TV/projector, and for customers who primarily use the digital optical/coaxial audio output, the standard BDP-83 is recommended.
