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"
I can't say if it will be as good or not, but Audioholics lists "increased performance and improved build quality" in their
first look, and they note that the unit is the same height, same width, half the depth, yet has a bit more heft to it.
