OPPO 95EU, any better than OPPO 83 series ?

[Inter_Voice]

I wonder if anyone has any experience and comment on OPPO 95EU that has just been launched in the UK?

Looking at its specification it is quite amazing

Mine is OPPO 83 upgarded to NuForce edition which is really good on 2 channel output but some forum said 95EU is even better than the 83 series including the NuForce edition. It was claimed this £1000 BDP is comparable to those palyer with a price tag of £5000 !! I have some doubt on the claim. I need some feedback before I can make my decision for another upgrade. Unfortunately audition is not available here in the UK as far as I know.

I forgot to mention that I hope Whathifi can provide a review on this OPPO 95EU for the benefit of those who have an interest on this unit.

Just helping to bump this up, I too am looking at this unit as a one box solution, as it can also stream from a music server.

I will be upgrading from a 981

It's probably best to pose this question in the "Home Cinema" section. You'll get more responses that way.

Bigboss you may be right but what I need to know is OPPO 95's performance on CD and SACD 2 channel playback and that is why I hope someone here can shed some light on it.

As the OPPO 95 seems to be an excellent Jack-of-all-trades from it's spec and reputation I wonder when we'll see a comprehensive review of the unit against competitors in each field that it excels in. SACD playback (stereo and surround), Blu Ray (3D) playback are the two that I would be most interested in hearing about.
