If you look at Oppo's website, particularly the "support" section you will probably understand why most look forward to this company's products. A "Public Beta Test"(June 11) is already in place for further upgrades to the BDP83 particularly related to DVD Audio and other generally related operational items. They are talking about improvements to the player that, myself having had one for a few weeks, didn't even realize there was issues. As it turns out, there aren't any, they just want to make it even better.
