We talked about upscale OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray before it in April, when it premiered. A new version will be called shortly BDP-83 Special Edition Universal Blu-ray, which promises better audio performance.
The player uses the ESS Audio DAC Sabre32 help the player, high-quality audio and sound stage with 128dB dynamic range and 0.0003% THD. The circuits in the DAC Sabre32 are patented and are a hyper-stream 32-bit modulator capable of modulation of 100% and unconditional stability.
The DAC supports 8-channel stereo or the conversion of digital audio input with a sampling rate of up to 500 kHz. OPPO argued that the use of CAD provides audiophile sound quality for the player. Pricing and availability for the BDP-83 Special Edition is not known. The BDP-83 Standard sells for $ 500.
