Hopstretch Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 For those what care, Oppo have confirmed that their new BD/SACD player will do DSD over HDMI and analog without PCM conversion. It's in final beta right now and does not do DVD-A at this point. Innit?
Icarium Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah I got forwarded this email: OPPO BDP-83 Blu-Ray Disc Player Update Dear XXXXX , Thank you for signing up to receive information about our upcoming OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player. We appreciate your interest, and would like to update you on the current development status of this exciting new product. One of the major design goals for the BDP-83 is to deliver first-class video quality for both Blu-ray and DVD. We based and expanded upon our top-of-the-line DV-983H up-converting DVD player and fully utilize the unparalleled performance of the VRS by Anchor Bay video processing solution. You can expect all the high-end video features including Source Direct for DVD and Blu-ray, high definition HDMI scaling, Edge and Detail Enhancement options, and 1080p24Hz output for both Blu-ray and DVD. We did not stop at just video performance. We further refined the audio stage, including the addition of discrete stereo outputs and increasing the power and efficiency of the power supply. For SACD playback, the BDP-83 supports direct DSD over HDMI and DSD-to-analog without any PCM conversion, a very unique feature. With the BDP-83, we intend to release a full-featured universal Blu-ray Disc player that supports BD Profile 2.0 (BD-Live), DVD, SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. As of this writing, the BDP-83 supports BD Profile 1.1 (BONUSVIEW), DVD-Video, SACD, and bitstreaming of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Progress is being made on a daily basis as our engineers work diligently around the clock to further enable DVD-Audio, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio onboard decoding, and BD Profile 2.0. The BDP-83 is currently undergoing an extensive and thorough Beta Test Program. We greatly appreciate all the feedback from our beta testers, as without their hard work and extraordinary attention to detail, the BDP-83 would not be the high quality product that our customers have come to expect from us. As many of our customers eagerly anticipate the release of the BDP83, we are contemplating a "BDP-83 Early Adoption Program" in late December or early January. This program will make available a limited number of units so you can purchase and experience the current implementation of the BDP-83's feature set, with the ability to download firmware as new features become available. The estimated price for the BDP-83 is around $499 to $599. OPPO Digital is a consumer-oriented company that listens carefully to customer opinions and values their feedback. If it were not for our customers' feedback and support, OPPO would not be where we are today. At OPPO we strive to provide our customers with quality products reinforced by exceptional customer service. Please email to [email protected] if you have any questions and comments, or simply reply to this email. Best Regards, Customer Service OPPO Digital, Inc.

Dusty Chalk Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Want! Even if it doesn't do DVD-A...I have a couple DVD-A players at this point, I can get by...plus, it'll probably do region 2, which I'll need for that stupid Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence dub. Curse you, Dreamworks! Edited December 12, 2008 by Dusty Chalk
Dusty Chalk Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Oh, shit, I forgot again! Sorry, dude. Are you still without? PM coming, we need to talk.
adam71 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Makes sense actually since the Denon's are converting sacd's dsd to pcm and dvd-a is native pcm... Then why is it when I connect my 3910 to my 3805 via DenonLink does it display DSD DIRECT on the receiver's display???
adam71 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I just noticed on the back of the Denon universal player that it has an output on there in HDMI called "AV Pure Direct". One is labeled Audio and the other Video. What would this be for? So you could run the "video hdmi" directly to your monitor and the "audio hdmi" directly to your pre/pro or receiver??

IIRC, Pure Direct outputs turns off or bypasses certain circuits (video circuits bypassed for audio and vise versa).
adam71 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 IIRC, Pure Direct outputs turns off or bypasses certain circuits (video circuits bypassed for audio and vise versa). So basically just another "Denon Link"?? Except with HDMI connections.??
adam71 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 ...and no $500 Cat5 cables? Yeah, tell me about it. Denon USA | AK-DL1
