Pioneer Elite BDP-23FD or Oppo BDP-83 - Blu-ray Forum

SeanMF · 08-15-2009, 04:48 PM

I'm trying to decide between the 2 which to get. I'm leaning towards the Pioneer as it will go well with my Pioneer Elite SC-05 and can get it cheaper than the Oppo. Just thought I'd get some feedback so let me know what you guys think.

It depends on what media you want to listen to and watch. Both units handle Blu-ray well. The Oppo can play DVD-A and SACD while the Pioneer cannot. In addition, I believe the Oppo has faster response times in terms of drawer opening, disc loading, etc. But as you noted, it costs more. One other feature the Oppo has is source direct, which is useful if you have an external video processor. I am not sure if the Pioneer has this as an option.

The pioneer has features that coincide with my sc-05 and I won't use sacd at all in my bedroom. Thinking that is the route I'm going as all have all def. tech. speakers also. Pioneer bdp-120 for sale. Pm if interested.

After owning the Pioneer Elite 05 and now the Oppo, I will never go back again. Perhaps it's because Oppo only makes DVD/Blu-ray players is one of the reasons why their products are so good. Besides the Ipod Touch, the Oppo BD player is my favorite tech of the year.
