As many who read my Reviews or follow my posts know I have “played” with a lot of Blu ray players since the format kicked off. There has been quite a few (23 to be exact). From the cheapest available to some serious Flagship models like the Denon DVDA1 or Pioneer 09FD! Believe me when I say the new Oppo BDP-93 is THE ultimate 3D Universal Network Blu ray player. So what makes it the best I have had to date? Read on…

Blu-ray disc players are the best source of high-definition for an HDTV, and with rapidly decreasing prices and the addition of media player and internet functions, Blu-ray Disc players are getting very popular, but which company makes the best Blu-ray Disc players? I received a lot of nominations, but have narrowed them down to five finalists for your consideration. As a result, some great candidates didn’t get quite enough nominations to make to the final five, including Panasonic and Pioneer.

There was a certain level of excitement that went through my veins when OPPO’s new BDP-93 Universal 3D Blu-ray player arrived at my front door.

OPPO Digital BDP-93 User Review

admin — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:37:57 +0000

What do you do after your first Blu-ray player receives awards from nearly every publication and web site that pays attention to some things? Where do you go from ther if you are a small company that doesn’t roll out new models every nine months? That’s the question that OPPO Digital was faced with after their BDP-83 proved tremendously successful throughout 2009 and 2010, becoming one of the benchmark hardware platforms for equipment reviewers and the favored player among enthusiasts. By January 2010, the BDP-83 platform had spawned two other products: the BDP-83SE, which upgraded the analog audio section and power supply but otherwise retained all of the BDP-83′s internals and chassis, and the BDP-80, which cost over 40% less by dropping the aluminum faceplate, Anchor Bay video processing chip, dedicated stereo analog output, top-of-the-line Cirrus audio DAC, and backlit remote control. That doesn’t even consider the other companies that had licensed the platform for much more expensive Blu-ray players. The platform had also seen performance refinements and even new features such as DLNA support, pushing the hardware’s capabilities as far as OPPO’s programmers and engineers could…

Price: $49.00

As any good home theater enthusiast knows, the proper calibration of your display is the key step in achieving presentation quality that will knock your socks off.

If, like most people however, you’re reluctant to invest in a professional ISF calibration of your equipment, then a do-it-yourself calibration disc is exactly what you need.

Features:

Calibration patterns for all major display controls
Evaluation patterns for measuring display and player quality
Clips to test de-interlacing performance
Samples of different video and audio codecs
All patterns created at 1080p in native color space using custom software

Stacey Spears:

“The static test patterns represent the current state-of-the-art. They are more accurate than the test patterns found on previous discs. There are a lot of subtle details that go into making them as mathematically accurate as possible, especially since you are dealing with lossy encoding. We have built propriety tools to generate the synthetic patterns. We use a custom encoder that will preserve as much detail as possible. Even the simple color bars have unique traits that make them cleaner.”

Features

High Fidelity Audio Performance:

SABRE³² Reference Audio DAC – The DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is one of the most important components for digital audio playback. The SABRE³² Reference ES9018 from ESS Technology is the world’s best performing 32-bit audio DAC solution targeted for high-end consumer applications and professional studio equipment. With the ESS patented 32-bit Hyperstream™ DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the SABRE³² Reference DAC delivers an unprecedented DNR (Dynamic Range) of up to 135dB and THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) of -120dB, the industry’s highest performance level that will satisfy even the most demanding audio enthusiast. The BDP-95 uses two ES9018 DAC chips – one for the 7.1-channel output, and another for the dedicated stereo output.
Toroidal Power Supply – Custom designed and built by Rotel, the toroidal power transformer offers superior inrush current and much lower exterior magnetic field over traditional laminated steel core transformers. The BDP-95′s toroidal linear power supply provides a very clean and robust power source to the critical audio components.
Dedicated Stereo Output – The BDP-95 features a dedicated 2-channel analog output with specially optimized ES9018 DAC and output driving stages. Each output is driven by 4 DAC channels stacking together to achieve even greater audio performance.
XLR Balanced Stereo Output - The stereo output offers both XLR balanced and RCA single-ended connectors. The balanced output features a true differential signal path all the way from the DAC to the 3-pin XLR connector. By transmitting a pair of differential signals, the balanced output provides better common-mode noise rejection and improves signal quality.
7.1-Channel Analog Output – Individual analog 7.1-channel surround outputs are ideal to connect to a 7.1-channel or 5.1-channel surround sound system. Powered by the ES9018 SABRE³² Reference DAC, the BDP-95 delivers an incredible and immersive multi-channel soundstage.
Digital Optical and Coaxial Outputs – For simple and easy connection to more traditional A/V receivers, the BDP-95 features both optical and coaxial outputs for digital audio.
Dolby® TrueHD – Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment. The BDP-95 supports bit-stream output of Dolby TrueHD via its HDMI 1.4a output. It can also internally decode Dolby TrueHD into LPCM and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch analog audio output terminals. (Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio formats are also supported.).
DTS-HD Master Audio™ – DTS-HD Master Audio delivers an auditory experience that matches the lifelike images of high-definition video with up to 7.1 channels that are bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. The BDP-95 supports bit-stream output of DTS-HD Master Audio. It can also internally decode DTS-HD Master Audio and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch analog audio output terminals. (DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS Digital Surround are also supported.)

Note – Although the BDP-95 shares the same playback platform as the BDP-93, it is designed from the ground up with a different chassis and many different components optimized for the analog audio performance. For this reason it is not possible to upgrade a BDP-93 to gain the BDP-95′s enhanced audio performance by replacing parts.

Diversified Media Support:

Blu-ray Disc – The high definition Blu-ray Disc™ format provides pristine video and audio quality for your home entertainment.
Blu-ray 3D – Experience high definition in all new dimensions. The BDP-95 supports the new Blu-ray 3D specifications (3D television and glasses required).

It also supports BonusVIEW (Profile 1.1) enabling “picture-in-picture” and audio features for viewing director or actor commentary while the main movie is playing.
DVD-Audio – The BDP-95 plays DVD-Audio and supports both stereo and multi-channel high resolution audio programs. Users can select whether to play the DVD-Audio or the DVD-Video portion of the disc.

Additional Disc & Media Formats – Additional disc and file formats, such as DVD, audio CD, HDCD, Kodak Picture CD, AVCHD, MP4, DivX, MKV, FLAC, WAV and other audio/video/picture files on recorded discs, USB or eSATA drives can be played back on the BDP-95.

Unparalleled Video Quality:

Qdeo by Marvell – The BDP-95 incorporates Marvell’s Kyoto-G2 video processor with the second generation Qdeo™ technology. Qdeo video processing delivers a truly immersive viewing experience by rendering quiet natural video free of noise and artifacts for all types of content. For high-quality Blu-ray content, the BDP-95 faithfully reproduces the program just as the director intended; for DVD, the up-converted picture quality bridges the visual gap from your current DVD library to Blu-ray discs; for network streaming and user-encoded content at a variety of formats and quality, the BDP-95 offers enhancement options including video noise reduction, compression artifact reduction, intelligent color, contrast, detail and edge enhancements. More Info
DVD Up-Conversion – Per-pixel motion-adaptive de-interlacing and advanced scaling transforms the standard definition image on DVDs to near high definition video quality. Additional Qdeo video processing options help to deliver a clearer, smoother, and true-to-life picture free of noise and artifacts.
Full HD 1080p Output – The BDP-95 features user selectable video output resolutions, including 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and up to 1080p 50 or 60Hz.

The BDP-95 can faithfully redeliver the original frames using 1080p 24Hz output (compatible display required) for smoother motion and a flicker-free, film-like home theater experience.
Source Direct Mode – For users who wish to use an external video processor, high-end audio/video receiver or display, the BDP-95 offers a “Source Direct” mode. The original audio/video content on the discs is sent out with no additional processing or alteration.
Multiple Zoom Modes – The BDP-95 supports multiple levels of aspect ratio control and image zooming, including a vertical stretch mode for customers with a 2.35:1 CIH (Constant Image Height) display system. A unique subtitle shift feature allows the user to move the subtitle up and down, making it possible to see all subtitle text when using a 2.35:1 CIH display. (Blu-ray discs with BD-Java may prohibit zoom operation.)
Dual HDMI v1.4a Outputs – Two assignable HDMI v1.4a outputs are provided to capitalize on the optimum audio and video settings to all old, new, and future HDMI televisions and receivers. With the option of full audio and video output to 2 displays; or dedicate one HDMI for audio, the other for video, it promotes a high quality video and audio for both signal paths. The BDP-95 supports 3D and Deep Color modes on both HDMI output ports.

Tone Magazine: BDP-80 Test

Out of the box and onto the review table, the BDP-80 continues to impress with superb finish and solid feel. The remote is large with some of the boldest bloke-sized buttons we’ve seen. Too bad, then, about the odd dull lime colour of most of the buttons. But wait, there’s a reason: they glow in the dark!

All that stuff they’re saying about Oppo overseas seems to be true. It’s well built and delivers the goods. Bravo!
