    Some of Customer Reviews OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray Disc Player with SACD and DVD-Audio

    • By R. Clark (Ridley Park, PA United States)

    You should look closely at this player if any of these descriptions fit you:
    -You own SACDs or DVD-As and want to play them on the same player you use for Blu-ray and DVD;
    -You want to upgrade to a universal player that can transmit all audio and video formats (including SACD and DVD-A) via HDMI;
    -You own a high-end video processor (separately or built into your receiver or display) that you want to use instead of the one built into your player;
    -You own a processor that does not accept HDMI but does have analog 7.1/5.1 inputs, and want to use them to hear lossless audio (TrueHD/DTS-MA) from Blu-ray Discs.
    -You prefer to do business with a smaller company that has a reputation for responsive and effective customer support.

    You are not the target market for this player if:

    -You require that your streaming solution (for Netflix, Amazon, YouTube etc.) be part of your Blu-ray player — this player does not stream;
    -You own a very large display and need the very best available upconversion of standard DVDs (which would make you a candidate for Oppo’s $499 BDP-83);
    -You don’t want to spend more than the minimum for standard Blu-ray audio and video performance, and you have HDMI-enabled equipment.
    -You feel you can benefit from the audio performance of very high-end DACs for stereo or multichannel analog audio (which would recommend the BDP-80 or BDP-80SE).

    While I’ve only had my BDP-80 for a few days, I’ve become very impressed with the thoroughness and elegance of its design. This is a very well thought-out player, aimed at users who have a reasonable grasp of the technology they’re using.

    I should note that I did not spend much time on the file-playback capabilities of this unit. I did play a couple of MPG files I had on a thumb drive (there’s a port on the front of the player) and found a very nice menu and very straightforward operation. There is a long list of supported file formats.

    Some of the things that jumped out at me:

    -The very well-packed player arrives, inside the box, wrapped not in plastic, but in an Oppo tote bag made from recycled material.
    -The manual is clear, well-written in English, and printed with premium materials. (Updated versions can be downloaded as well.)
    -A 6′ HDMI cable is included.
    -The unit has a very solidly-built feel to it.
    -It is silent in operation (no cooling fan) yet does not run hot.
    -Tray operation feels and sounds solid, well-damped, and not a bit flimsy. There is no ambiguity about whether the disc is properly centered in the tray.
    -Menus are attractive and unambiguous.
    -The remote has a number of unusual but useful controls, but is still comfortable and intuitive for basic operations. (Note that it is not backlit; the backlit version costs more and is available direct from Oppo. This is moot if you plan to use a universal remote, as I do.)
    -The player is very quick in all modes of operation. It powers up and boots very fast; the tray is ready to open in a few seconds. Blu-ray operations are on a par with the PS3; other types of discs load and play as fast as most regular players.
    -In my installation, at least, I connected to my home network, the player immediately configured itself, contacted the mothership, found and downloaded the latest firmware, all in a couple of minutes.

    Detailing every feature of the player and remote would basically be to reproduce the owner’s manula which, since it’s available as a pdf on Oppo’s site, you can do for yourself. So I’ll end by saying that the player appears to do everything that Oppo says it will do, and does it quickly and without fuss. The company includes a one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and has an excellent reputation for customer support.

    You can pay a lot less for equivalent performance in Blu-ray playback via HDMI, even in players with support for streaming services. If that’s all you need there may be no reason for you to pay more for a player like this. But particularly if you can use a universal player with Blu-ray, this is not just a great performer, but it’s a stone bargain.

  • Rated as a CD player only…Wonderful sound!, February 13, 2010

    • By Tom Sanders “Tom Sanders” (Lansing, Mi United States)

    I bought it’s big brother the BDP-83 a little while back for a seperate video system and was so impressed that when my very high end but 15 year old Rotel CD player started having some glitches I bought the BDP-80 to replace it with. It was beautifully packed , just like its’ big brother and I had in into the stereo system in less than 5 minutes.
    I had not thought of the lack of flexibility of display or programming or info available with using a DVD player instead of CD player, but it was soon evident. The only reason it does not have 5 stars in my review. Now that being said I was amazed at how good it sounds. I get a separation of instruments I have never heard before. The sound is warm like the best tube stuff, too! I am immensely pleased with the sound of it. I honestly feel I couldn’t duplicate it for less than $1000! Unless I bought another BDP-83 for a couple of hundred more.
