On top of that the amazing Oppo BDP-83 is mysteriously discontinued out of the blue along with the bdp-80.
A new model is on the way with more features that will replace the BDP-83 at the same price point.
Will it be as good is the questions however, as the tried and true BDP-83. I hate when I see companies like Marantz push out newer and newer lines with more "features" at the expense of a solid, durable product. More features does not usually mean better to me, and when a product is good at what its supposed to do, I absolutely loathe when companies change it for the sake of "change"
