Widget, thanks for detailed comparisons of the various OPPO players. To confirm I did buy the SE in March.....it's just about everything I've read it would be. If there's a way to get better analog sound out of my L7s, I'm interested, but probably not going to see it for anywhere near the $900 SE pricetag
Edit: wait a minute, the Bryston seems to use the same Cirrus Crystal CS-4398 DAC that the Oppo BDP-83 uses for it's two channel analog, so how the Bryston in your assessment noticeably outclasses the 83SE is confusing?
