Oppo Digital Blu-Ray and Upconverting DVD Players

The award winning Oppo DVD players are available from Solutions A/V for delivery ANYWHERE in Canada via our secure website, http://shop.solutionsav.ca. Orders ship SAME DAY from our warehouse if received by 4pm EST.

We welcome local Toronto area clients to stop by our retail showroom located in Markham, Ontario to see the various players in action, and to pickup your new Oppo!

Solutions A/V is a FULLY AUTHORIZED OPPO DEALER. We source units directly from Oppo Digital and do not subscribe to "backdoor/grey market" channels.

 

Why buy your OPPO DVD player from Solutions A/V?

1) We are a "real" business, not a curious online-only presence. We operate a retail showroom with fixed business hours in Markham, Ontario, just North of Toronto. This means we can take your order online, over the phone, or in person. Please see the CONTACT US page for more information on our location and hours of operation for pickups.

Becase we're not some online-only presence, and have staff at our retail location during regular business hours, you can be 100% sure you'll be able to reach us. We have real people backing up this online website!

2) Our staff has many years of real audio/video industry experience. It is easy to accept money in exchange for a product, and simply pumping product into the consumer market doesn't translate into product knowledge. It is difficult to provide pre and post sales support without solid product knowledge, not just of Oppo products, but of what the entire industry has to offer.

We are CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) accredited, which means our staff has passed lengthy industry exams, and attend regular training courses for credit in order to maintain this accreditation.

3) We personally fulfill ALL shipped orders from our warehouse facility. We do not use third party logistics warehouse/supply chain operations to do our "dirty work". Since we have total control of the process, we can provide far better service to our customers.

Our shipping cutoff is 4pm EST, meaning you can place your Oppo order later, and still have it the next day to most areas in ON/QC via Ground service, or anywhere in Canada via our unbeatable flat $40 overnight shipping rate. We also offer the lowest Ground shipping rates available for more economical delivery.

4) Oppo maintains a Minimum Advertised Price policy, but we price as closely to this price as possible so it is directly in-line with US retail. No high shipping charges from the US, no Customs issues and mega dollar brokerage costs, and Canadian dealer/warranty support.

5) We offer a 15-day no hassle return policy without any restocking charges. Because the Oppo units are not widely available, we want to ensure that the element of financial risk is removed when you consider giving an Oppo unit a try in your system, even if you see it in action in our showroom first. We guarantee your complete and total satisfaction.

6) We also offer an exclusive 1-year direct exchange warranty as an ‘upgrade’ to the factory warranty for no additional charge. Local clients can simply have their units exchanged within the 1-year warranty period, and clients across Canada can ship their units back to us at which point another unit will be promptly shipped out.

The Oppo BDP-83 BluRay player is a fantastic bargain in the audio/video world, and for good reason. It builds on the foundation of the DV-983H and adds BluRay playback to what has already been dubbed the 'be all end all DVD player'.

Blu-ray Disc - The high definition Blu-ray Disc™ format provides pristine video and audio quality for your home entertainment.

DVD Up-Conversion - The BDP-83 uses the same VRS™ by Anchor Bay (DVDO) de-interlacing and scaling technology as in our award-winning DV-983H DVD player. The up-converted picture quality bridges the visual gap from your current DVD library to Blu-ray discs.

SACD - The BDP-83 plays Super Audio CD (SACD) and supports both stereo and multi-channel high resolution audio programs. Users can select whether to output the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) signal in its native format or convert it into PCM.

BD-Live™ - The BDP-83 supports BD "Profile 2.0" and contains all necessary hardware - audio/video decoder, Ethernet port, and 1GB of internal storage - for BD-Live.

Additional Media Formats - Additional disc and file formats, such as audio CD, HDCD, Kodak Picture CD, AVCHD, MKV, and other audio/video/picture files on recorded discs or USB drives can be played back on the BDP-83.

AND MORE...including True 24p™ Video, Dolby® TrueHD, DTS®-HD, 7.1-Channel Analog Output, Dedicated Stereo Output, Dual USB Ports, and finally, DVD-Audio support, making this a *FULLY UNIVERSAL* DVD and BluRay player.

Oh...and it weighs in at over 11lbs, more than TWICE what 'normal' BluRay units weigh. So not only is the BDP-83 a solid performer, but it is rather solidly built as well.

 

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player is an exciting upgrade based on the highly acclaimed BDP-83. Already well known for its exceptional audio and video performance, the BDP-83 is upgraded with an all new analog audio stage and improved power supply to become the Special Edition. Designed for the discerning audio enthusiast, the OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player delivers an exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra low distortion, accurate sound stage and jitter-free music clarity via its dedicated stereo and 7.1ch analog audio output.

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. The Sabre32 family is known as one of the industry's highest performance audio DACs and are often found in high-end audiophile and professional equipments. The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses an 8-channel Sabre Premier (ES9006) DAC chip for its 7.1 multi-channel output. The dedicated stereo output uses another 8-channel Sabre32 Ultra (ES9016) DAC chip by stacking 4 DACs for each of the Left and Right channels to achieve even greater audio performance.

Just like the BDP-83 it is based on, the OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition is a Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player featuring bit-stream and full decoding capability for high resolution audio tracks such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Designed for both home theater viewers and music listeners, it plays DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD (SACD) and standard CD with excellent video and audio performance in addition to Blu-ray Discs.

PLEASE NOTE: The only improvement in the BDP-83SE over the regular BDP-83 is the ANALOG audio. As such, the BDP-83 Special Edition is for those who primarily use the analog audio output to connect to either a dedicated stereo or a multi-channel surround system. If you primarily use the HDMI output to connect to an A/V receiver or directly to a TV/projector, or primarily use the optical/coaxial digital audio output, the standard BDP-83 is recommended, as you will realize no gains from the Special Edition version of the BDP-83.

My name is Andrew (aka the boss of Solutions A/V) and I'm an audiophile. I've been into high end audio for the better part of the last decade. You wouldn't take your car to a bakery for an oil change, so why buy an audiophile product from a non-audiophile? If you have any questions about the SE unit and its performance, please feel free to call or email me...or stop in and meet me at our retail showroom.

 

The OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray Disc Player is designed to be a stand-alone universal disc player and a digital audio/video transport. It is based on the same decoder chipset and similarly optimized firmware as the award-winning BDP-83 model. Like the BDP-83, the BDP-80 offers universal playback of Blu-ray, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD and many other disc/media formats. It also features the same fast disc load times and quick response to user operations. The BDP-80's audio handling features are very similar to the BDP-83 with support for internal decoding and bitstream output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

For video output over HDMI, the BDP-83 sports a highly advanced video processor (ABT2010 with VRS by Anchor Bay Technology). In contrast, BDP-80 handles all video processing tasks using its main decoder chip. This chip is powered by custom firmware that was developed from years of experience with reproducing reference video quality and fine tuned picture enhancements. Based on the video processing capabilities, the BDP-83 is recommended for users with larger screen sizes or having a large DVD collection that needs the best up-conversion. It is an excellent one-box solution to achieve high quality video. The BDP-80 is incredibly well suited as a digital transport to feed into an external video processor, a high-end A/V receiver or display device with built-in video processing. The BDP-80 is also recommended to be used as a stand-alone Blu-ray/DVD/CD-player that offers higher video and audio quality than many mass-market players.

For analog audio output, the BDP-80 features a configurable 7.1-channel output that can be set as 7.1-channel, 5.1-channel or stereo. The BDP-83 has a dedicated stereo output in addition to the 7.1-channel output. The Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) and analog driving stage in the BDP-80 is a tried-and-true design previously used in our flagship DV-983H up-converting DVD player. Although not as sophisticated as the BDP-83 and BDP-83 Special Edition, this design enables the BDP-80 to be an excellent audio player at a very affordable price. For digital audio output, the BDP-80 and BDP-83 have very similar capabilities and performances, and either can be an excellent audio source for an audio processor or A/V receiver via HDMI and coaxial/optical connections.

In summary, the choice between BDP-80 and BDP-83 depends on the specific needs of the customer. The BDP-83 is recommended where the best possible video and audio performance is required. The BDP-80 excels in a home theater where an accurate digital transport is optimal, and it matches well with other home theater devices that offers quality video processing and audio D/A conversion. The BDP-80 is also recommended for smaller home theaters as a standalone player where universal media support and speedy operations are the most ideal.
