Boris1553552671 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The Listening Post are selling my Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition Bluray player for me on Trademe as I've upgraded to the BDP-105. If you're not into 3D then this is an excellent step up from the usual brands sold by the big retailers. The SE model offers a significant upgrade to the analogue output stages in particular and made it the 'audiophiles' choice. In addition to awesome Bluray performance it is a very capable audio player for CD/SACD/DVD-A. Your old DVD collection will also benefit from it's high quality video processing. Icing on the cake is it is hardware modified for region/zone free Bluray & DVD. Purchased from Rapallo in June-11 when RRP was $2,135. Light use since then for Bluray only as I have a dedicated CDP. Complete with all original packaging and accessories. As usual products such as this depreciate through the floor, looks like it could go for a steal. I only upgraded for the media functionality of the 105 (and I like new toys); I'm honestly struggling to see/hear any improvement in core performance. Be in if you're interested, always nice when gear moves on to another 'Enzer http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/dvd-players-vcrs/dvd-players/standard/auction-631324572.htm Cheers, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coleus Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nice machine for the money for sure, pitty about the seller, you obviously have had great dealings with them, but anyone who answers an auction with dont bid on this auction will never get my money, it is no wonder people are leaving specialist retailers in their droves. What tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tossers. I guess that was code for, it's not suitable for your requirements. You'd want a dealer to be candid about whether the goods were fit for purpose. Short but no tosser, IMHO.

Boris1553552671 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 At least he said please My first thought was LP know who the person is and had perhaps had a poor experience with them in the past, but I think Ernie may be on to it. And LP aren't getting your money, I am! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcooze Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Although one could make a case for an ESL personage asking about File Formats for music and Ethernet connections. Which, bad/unclear English aside, may have well put him in the running for this beastie. I see from the Oppo link that it appears to do DLNA and doesn't do FLAC. Although the DLNA link mentions streaming FLAC so I'd be unsure too. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the DLNA link mentions streaming FLAC so I'd be unsure too. FLAC is not supported. Although it does play some compressed audio codecs the 83 really doesn't cut it for media files. I guess that was the point LP was making, albeit in a rather blunt way. As stated that is also one of the main reasons I upgraded to the 105. What it does do is fantastic video & audio replay of pretty much any silver disc you throw at it.
