根据这个评价,似乎并没有提及播放CD的效果,想要拿它播CD的要注意了。
The BDP-83 universal Blu-ray player is housed in a larger, sturdier, more attractive case than Oppo's earlier players, and its user interfaces, both onscreen and on the new remote control, are more elegant. While the BDP-83 couldn't match the dynamic subtlety and range of the Sony SCD-XA5400ES SACD player, it nontheless had a full, balanced sound, with excellent clarity in the high frequencies. Via its analog outputs, the Oppo approached the performance of the more expensive Denon DVD-3800BDCI Blu-ray player. KR:"That I can alternate this new player with dedicated players costing three to seven times as much makes the Oppo almost self-recommending." He adds that "used through the HDMI output, as a transport, it pops up to A+ and is the most complete and truly "universal' player [handling] Blu-ray, DVD, CD, DVD-A and SACD." (Vol32 No.7 WWW)

Oppo BDP-83 universal Blu-ray player does it all
Remember when a "universal" player handled CDs, SACDs, and DVD-Audio and -Video discs? Now, with Blu-ray fighting for ascendance in the market and other formats fading, there may not be much of a demand for a do-everything player in the mass market. However, many of us have collections of all of those formats. For us, the launch of a player that plays Blu-ray Discs in addition to those formats would be a reason for celebration. Oppo Digital is doing just that. Building on its achievements with its DV-980H and DV-983H universal players, Oppo is about to release the BDP-83 Blu-ray universal player ($499), which can also play all the formats listed above, as well as BD-R/RE, HDCD, AVCHD, CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, and DVD±R DL. They've housed it in a larger, sturdier, more attractive case than their earlier models, and have created more elegant user interfaces, both on screen and on the new remote control. It provides control of bass management, speaker levels, and speaker distances to permit use with analog preamps, but crossover for Small speakers is restricted to 80Hz, a useful but not universal value. My review sample was officially a beta unit—the firmware had not yet been finalized (is it ever?)—and the BDP-83 continues to appear on Oppo's website as "coming soon." However, several hundred beta units are now in the hands of members of Oppo's Early Adopters Program, and Oppo has assured me that the hardware platform is stable. As shipped, my review sample couldn't play DVD-As. That capability was added with a firmware update, although DVD-A operation remains quirky. A few DVD-As still won't play correctly, but Oppo expects to iron out these issues before the formal launch. Consider the following comments preliminary, and primarily based on my experience of the BDP-83's performance with CDs, SACDs, and Blu-rays. The stereo and multichannel analog outputs have been upgraded from earlier Oppo models, and sound it. The analog output of the DV-980H was usable, but not in the class of the comparably featured Pioneer DV-58. The BDP-83 is in that class. Compared to the DV-980, the BDP-83 didn't sound thin but widely balanced, with excellent clarity in the high frequencies. Dynamics, too, are improved. However, comparing the Oppo's playing of two-channel SACDs with that of the Sony SCD-XA5400ES, I could hear that the Oppo can't compete with the better dedicated players. The Sony is just so much more delicate in its delineations, while giving away nothing in dynamic subtlety or range. By analogy to video, the Oppo's audio performance is like good video performance with a little too much contrast. Using the Oppo's HDMI output for audio, the gap in performance between the BDP-83 and its predecessors, or the Sony, narrowed but remained. As a Blu-ray player, the BDP-83 was a delight.2 Setup was a breeze, disc-load times are greatly improved, and the new remote makes navigating the menus almost not a chore. I listened to two 2L audio-only Blu-rays, Divertimenti (2L 50) and Magnar Åm's SONaR (2L 51), and Johann Strauss, Jr.'s Die Fledermaus (Opus Arte OABD7004D). Via its analog outputs, the BDP-83 was nearly in the class of the Denon DVD-3800BDCI Blu-ray player. I couldn't A/B the two players, but I felt a bit more relaxed with the Denon. On the other hand, both were so enjoyable for extended listening—and viewing—that I often forgot I was supposed to be making critical analyses and let myself just enjoy the music. Again, HDMI narrowed any subjective differences, in this case to nil with the Integra DTC-9.8 preamp/processor. That I can comfortably alternate this new player with dedicated players costing three to seven times as much makes the Oppo BDP-83 almost self-recommending. However, some quirks in my beta unit need to be addressed, including intermittent ticks during playback of SACDs and BDs. Others have reported lockups with some BD movies. I'm certain that Oppo is addressing these issues, and we'll stay on top of them. Just wait for the official release.
