Mark and Dean, Thanks for the info re: the Oppo BDP-83. I checked them out today. Dean youre right, there is only the one place in Australia that has them at present and they want $1075.00. I guess that's what happens if you have no competition.

Anyway they do look really good and they are less than the Marantz and better as well. So, I think I will probably go for one of them. Trying to find someone in the States who sells them online and will send one out here!
