  • Abstract:  Now why do they do that? I mean - it was the same when CD was launched in the first place so you'd think they'd have learnt their lesson, but no - seduced by advertising dollars and steeped in ignorance they decided DVD players were set to wipe dedicat...

  • Abstract:  “I should point out off the top that this is an audio review, though I may add a sidebar later about its video performance with one of our projectors. But it’s so hard to even countenance its removal from my audio system that I can’t even predict when ...

  • OPPO is destined for big things in the UK if it continues to make DVD players as good as this. The DV-980H's feature list reads like an A-Z of DVD technology, boasting a host of appealing features like multiregion compatibility, HDMI v1.2 and a USB port, ...

  • Abstract:  Oppo Digital is a very rare light among the stifling mediocrity found in most low to middle priced digital audio and video electronics. Readers of this website know that we all have a virtually uniform love for their products, and it is for extremely ...

  • Abstract:  The DV-980H came out a couple of months back and I recently gave it a thorough workout. It fills in a gap in OPPO’s product line, in that it brings back the component video outputs missing from the DV-981H and restores 480i output through the HDMI c...

  • Abstract:  "Dominate!" Its what you hear football teams yell before the game begins, and its what Oppo Digital is doing in the budget segment of the A/V market. This California-based company seemingly stuffs every bell and whistle into its sleek CD/DVD/SACD pla...

  • I should also mention that the player is very thin in heighth and if you’re crammed for space in your equipment rack it could possibly fit on top or below another larger component. Regardless, I would suggest some type of weight or resonance control on...
