anyway, Oppo 83, Customer service is really excellent,
within a day, all queries answered

- latest pricing S$1060~ moded or region free unit~ excluding tax of 30%
- Shipping to Ipoh via SpeedPost/EMS courier costs S$90
- for tax clearance purposes, Invoice can be marked down 15-20% of S$1060 = 848 X 30%tax = S$254

that will be 1060(RP)+254(30%tax)+90(courier) =S$1404 X est 2.4 = RM3369.00

at RM3K this oppo should be group with pioneer LX71 or the coming LX72 for a fair review

BD-60/, especially BD80, pioneer 51FD, 320 and LX52 depends (how you analyse) will loose to Oppo 83 by just a slight margin

As Pioneer 51FD=pioneer 320, and given that scenerio, i opt for the BDP-320 as the difference is only RM400 ( you get slightly better PQ and AQ, 2 channel stereo, DVD upscale, not to mention BD-live.

As the BDP-320 is equipped with 1GB SD Ram, hopefully the next couple of FW upgrades, will solve the DVD 2-3 sec change over and better load times.

base on my findings my shorlisted model will either be the Pana BD60 or the BDP-320

really jialat just got to know sold-out 4units of BD60 at RM950 ( think tis is the price they deduct from the LCD package deal )

and now considering BD 320 at RM2200 FOC 2pcs BD against the BD60 at RM1100

Added on August 19, 2009, 10:53 pmi get what you mean, i seriously think that its wrongly commented. its not uncommon as thats what ppl think

to me everything inside the casing is perfectly calibrated and hook-up for test results,

its the same as Speakers, you have beautiful, expensive, gold-plated, biding post to very expansive cross-overs, but the link to the speaker drivers is usually a "jialat" cable
BUT to a lot of "Sin Kar's" they swap/alter that cable ....so the end result.... you are not getting what the manufacturers/designers want you to hear

yes, wunderbar!!!

looking at the internals, I really dun see how the BD320 can be worth 1100 more than the BD60.. if you want bargain, then it's a no brainer to go with the panny..

i can only say it all boils down to the Circuit Design and components used, like Transport, Integrated Circuts, Capacitors , inductors, embedded chips etc

Its Technology my fren
thats what i thought too, if can get again at RM950, immediately buy liao
just now my dealer want take me buy adi, cc call the other side sold out liao,

he too advise me go for panny, wait for technology to be stable 1st then luk c again

bro.. I'm in this line of business la..apart from the main IC, the other passive components used on the circuit boards (which affect the analog portion of the player) shown in the pix doesn't look like anything special..

Added on August 19, 2009, 11:49 pmthe light brown phenolic PCB is the power board with a SMPS power supply and high frequency ferrite switching transformer..

the wires power the green board where the circuits are..

then you can see the 2 sets of flexi FPC cables from the green PCB going under the BD-rom drive..

I am a movie/AV geek, thought you guys already know that? Did you guys know the brand DENON originated from the company name Denki Onkyo?

oh dear god, now 90% confirmed on BD60 liao

was thinking wat de hack,

DVD upsampling no good...... but i can let my bloody yammy 3900 (Anchorbay 2010 chipset... same chip with the well renown Oppo 83) )do the upscaling ma right,

also from the KLIAVS i see many BD-60 performing demo (pana booth) on 60"plasma to the biggest projector oso ok ma ... rite,

As for the CD Audio if really cannot, then use hidef HDMI output, or just keep my Mc'Cormack CD Player

so guess my quest for a BD player for about 2months will end today

congrats...

I think u r good to go. Use the old DVD player, the CD player and the new BD60 and all will be well.

Added on August 20, 2009, 11:57 amThe prices for the Oppo are higher as compared to the rest of the players especially with the tax....

that should have been the main option from day 1, not the pioneer route..

Thanks to all my sifu's sharing their dedicated, time, briefing, explanation, to the extent of searching for valuable infos' to suppliment their verdict, not to mention...EVEN..in the wee hours of the morning
a big Thank You, Terima Kasih, hontoni arigatou gojaimas

To be frank, Pioneer 51FD, 320, it is a very very good BD player, they still hold their honour as best outstanding BD player in its range (not to bring Oppo 83 at 3K+ as comparison)
if its not for the Yammy 3900 ABT 2010 chip i would have gone for the Pioneer

haha! you noticed, wee hours..
so what time your new toy?

hopefully can get today via "jchong" haha

where can i get this player bro..

i'm in jb..huhu...

looks familiar, think have seen it somewhere,
u in JB, city down under pun takda meh!!

Unfortunately, the regular lowyat suppliers out of stock

ya lor, really jialat lor, mind set on BD-60 liao, wait a while 1st
if really dont have and if have to buy at RM1400 (panashop) definitely not sen-Q or senhen at RM1999,
then will not hesitate to take the BDP-320

sen-Q want to clear their BD-30 at RM900 any takers??
heard BD-61 coming.... any feedback

bro jchong, touch down ipoh adi

how about the other forumer here who was selling 900-1000?

also what BDP were you using before considering this pioneer/panny thing?

courtesy of bro jchong.... check for me adi (quite long name "isxxxxxxxxxx" something)

did not own any BDP yet, only dvico 4000p and pioneer DVD DV-383 ( non Hdmi and upscale player)
as for the DVD, i didnt even use component, just use s-video hook to yammy 3900, PQ very good also le
