    CDP-300 and Blu Ray

    I was curious to know what anyone was doing that has the CDP-300 which is an awesome cd player, but what do you do about blu ray. And is it really worth it to pay 4000 for a CD player that does not play Blu Ray movies. Also is there players that play both?

      Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, OPPO Digital designs and markets high quality digital electronics that deliver style, performance, innovation, and value to A/V enthusiasts and savvy consumers alike. The company's attention to core product performance and strong customer focus distinguishes it from traditional consumer-electronics brands.


      And if the sound quality of the OPPO isn't quite good enough for you and your money is burning a hole in your pocket then you could buy one of these to connect to the OPPO...

          yes the Oppo is outstanding the PS3 is still close second thank you to cell technology plus if you use HDMi then your SSP-800 takes care of DAC

            Thanks for the response' I was wondering if someone bought the CDP 300 what they did for Blu Ray. I don't have the money nor the intention on spending 4K for a CD/DVD player, I would not spend 2K to be honest. Just wondering about the people that owned that CDP 300 piece what they did for blu ray movies. Never herd of the OPPO, but if it plays Blu ray,reg DVD/CD, then that an swesome piece. I would consider that to go with a SSP 800, I just need to find a used one first..

              Classe Transport

              Wouldn't be nice if Classe made a bare bones CD transport with HDMI out? Concentrate on getting all the bits correctly out of the disc and into the cable. Go with a 1/2U size with the nice curved front. Sell it for $1k. Or even $1.5k.

                  never that's right...



                  this "great" Oppo Nuforce is priced "only" more as $. 2300.- 8O (EU price)

                  The Oppo can give you the half from a Pioneer LKX09 (91 in Europa)or a denon 3800 or 4010....

                  the Oppo is really ops: overpriced ops: in Usa too!! is a simply transporter all the job is made from the SSP800.....

                  sure for 500$. can I buy it .....foor my Bedroom.

                    I have found the OPPO BDP-83SE to be a great little universal player. It is not going to be the best CD player out there, but for $899 I don't think you can do a lot better until you get into big money..
                    Main System:
                    B&W 801D
                    Emotiva USP-1 Pre-Amp
                    Chord SPM-650 Stereo Amp
                    Oppo BDP-105
                    Squeezebox Touch


                    Second System:
                    B&W CM7
                    Emotiva UMC-1
                    Emotiva UPA-2
                    Oppo BDP-83SE
                    Grant Fidelity DAC-09

                      Okay so for clarity, are we saying you don't need the oppo if using an ssp-800 because the ssp-800 will do everything i need to it to do with a regular DVD or Blu ray player

                        Or you can get the lexicon universal player (Oppo in disguise)

                        The SSP-800 make all source sound fantastic especially when used as transport

                          I'll keep my CDP300 as a dedicated CD player and purchase a good BD player for playing DVD's and BD's.

                          I heard several BD players, but none came close.
                          I own a SSP600, so analog, no SSP800 with digital connection.

                            I use the Oppo BDP-83SE for Blu-ray (and SACD / DVD-A). It is connected with my SSP-300 using the multi-ch inputs.

                            If you're planning on using the DACs in the SSP-800 (recommended) by making the connection using HDMI only, the 'standard' BDP-83 will suit your needs as the video sections of the BDP-83 and the BDP-83SE (and the Nuforce edition for that matter) are exactly the same, i.e. the ABT2010. This award-winning chipset by Anchor Bay is currently one of the best video processing chips found only in players that cost more than twice the price of the Oppo (e.g. Marantz UD8004, Denon DBP-4010).

                            Perhaps like you I hadn't heard of Oppo before. Although it's a pitty the BDP-83SE looks don't match the rest of my system, I'm still content I took the plunge, as the sound and image are nothing short of :T

                              Then it is worth it but if you use HDMi then the regular brand at half the price will suffice

                                Regular brand as in "the standard Oppo BDP-83"? If you're refering to other, less expensive brands you'll be missing out on the ABT2010 chipset from Anchor Bay. As far as I know the standard BDP-83 is the least expensive unit out there that features this chipset.
