Clare Newsome:
From CA re the audio quality of the 751BD:

The 751BD is the ideal no-compromise choice
for audiophiles who demand the ultimate audio reproduction with superb sonic
performance as standard via two channel and multi channel outputs. Five dedicated
Wolfson WM8740 DACs ensure every channel is decoded in the very highest quality
and Anagram Technologies Q5 192 kHZ upsampling further enhances audio quality whether
played from CD, DVD, Blu-ray or any other supported format.

[Note to editors, more information on Q5
upsampling technology is available at www.cambridgeaudio.com/Q5]

In addition to superb quality decoding, the
ultimate in control is offered with a choice of digital filters. Linear phase,
minimum phase and steep filters can all be selected to suit an individual's
listening preferences.

And for the ultimate audiophile touch, select
Pure Audio Mode and the 751BD shuts down all video processing to prevent any
audio signal interference or degradation.

The 751BD again benefits from Cambridge
Audio's rich musical heritage by supporting all high-resolution audio formats
including DVDA and SACD. Both can be output via HDMI or using the 2ch or 7.1 channel
analogue connections - the 7.1 connection in particular enables older, non-HDMI
AV receivers to benefit from a new lease of life.

This all sounds very good Clare. It's the inclusion of the Marvell QDEO video processing which will make this a likely purchase for me (seen as how the Arcam BDP100 is a let-down IMO..), as this video processor will make my music DVD collection look as good if not better than my Arcam DV139 does with it's ABT scaler. Video processing is one area CA have been slack in previously I feel, with good if not superb video repro quality.

Add in the sweet Wolfson DACS to replace the Crystal ones found in the 650 model (and the Oppos) and CA have a winner here at £800.

At last a one-box disc based BDP solution.

I'd be curious to see and hear the differences between this latest Oppo and other comparable models. My Pioneer has four DACs of the same type as the Oppo. Will the additional DAC make that much difference, especially as the Pioneer has a dedicated stereo output and this Oppo doesn't? Would the additional picture quality make a difference on a 720p set or would the only be visible in 1080p? Looks like an audition is required.

How much is the Oppo 93 and where did you buy from ......if you dont mind telling.

You can buy the Oppo from Oppo BD UK directly here or from one of these sellers for £499 or thereabouts (depending on whether they have increased the VAT or have absorbed the extra cost).
