Oppo BDP-93 Networking Universal Blu-ray Player Announced

[Eric5676]

^^ That surprised me. I'm just going to ask some of the regulars at AVS in the Oppo 93 thread about that to verify.

[grawk]

That looks tempting...I can't wait to hear one.

[Eric5676]

Confirmed.

I agree with him. That release date time window is probably pretty optimistic but you never know.

depending on the sound and the USB/flac/hirez interface, it could be a purchase for me.

Same here. I'd have no problems selling my 83 for whatever I could get for something like that especially since I'm starting to now see some early warning signs that my 6 year old Onkyo 1000 that I'm using as a transport may not be much longer for this world.

We shall see.

I opted not to get the BDP-93, and to wait on the BDP-93SE nee BDP-95 instead, so...woo-hoo-and-a-woot.

(starts saving for Q1 or Q2 2011)

[Dusty Chalk]

Why, is it going to have a better interface for the iPod?

[Dusty Chalk]

(ponders that)

[Augsburger]

because it has more letters.

......and a built in knife sharpener.

[Dusty Chalk]

I have a knife sharpener.

the networking feature interests me. would there be any reason to pick up a networking receiver if the oppo already has it?

[Wmcmanus]

My 93 arrived the other day. Haven't opened the box yet. Will wait until I get back to Cayman next week. Would just be putting myself through torture to have to look at it but not be able to use it.

X2 Before I can hook up the 93 I need to hire three guys to cart away our armoire that is sitting where our new custom t cabinet will sit, have said guys move the new cabinet into its location in the family room then buy the new TV to go on the new cabinet. I just ordered the special glass fronts for the doors on the cabinet and I must say they are pretty bitchin lookin'.

Man, that 93 is turning out to be pretty expensive for some people.

Short answer -- no. It might make something easier for you, but unlikely. I'm not sure what a networking receiver needs networking for (other than the obvious), though, so take my answer with a small shake of salt.

Damn slippery slope thingy

whatever lets me play back from the PC without adding another box...

[Dusty Chalk]

Looks like the answer is yes -- you may have to put some server software on your computer, but...well, start here. As soon as I saw, "...to serve the files to the Oppo...", I was happy, and stopped reading -- I can always go back once I get one and follow along, if I can't figure it out.

I believe (but am not positive) that you will need to have a DLNA server to stream music to it. For Mac users running iTunes, it won't work directly with the OPPO BDP-93 - I have tried it and it doesn't recognize the Mac. I was thinking of buying a NAS drive to store and stream my music through it, but that means another box.

I am by no means an expert on this subject, and recommend the AVS Forum threads for answers on this player, as the beta testers for the OPPO BDP-93 post there and also answer questions.

[oqvist]

How is the case work on the 93? It was not that impressive on the 83se for a 900$ bluray players so I hope it

Nuforce, Nuforce Extreme editions announced for BDP-93 and BDP-95

I saw the ad in Absolute Sound for the BDP-93 NE and NXE, but not for the BDP-95 NXE.
