As well as looks, the 4.9kg player has a solid heft to it that sets it apart from the budget crowd. The black brushed-metal fascia looks suitably impressive and will not seem out of place on a premium AV rack. I also approve of the updated look of the player. You even get an Oppo-branded carry bag, should you want to lug the player over to your friend’s house and want to attract the attention of muggers. While I wouldn’t normally go deep into the ‘unboxing’ experience, the Oppo’s lavish packaging deserves a mention and immediately imbues a sense of quality to the proceedings. In the meantime Google’s Picasa image sharing site is available and worked well enough. While the US version of this player even includes Netflix and Blockbuster streaming, the EU model is currently devoid of any streaming services, although Oppo promises YouTube will be added at some point. The new BDP-93EU can, of course, do the same, but now adds 3D compatibility into the mix and promises even better video processing courtesy of Marvell’s Kyoto-Gen 2 Qdeo chip.Īnother welcome addition to the spec roster is DLNA network streaming, which bolsters the file format playback from USB. So why all the fuss? As many will recall, the Oppo BDP-831 was one of a rare breed of Blu-ray players that could play back almost every optical based format you could throw at it, with SACD and DVD-Audio adding lustre. Having already forged a reputation amongst AV-holics for its high quality, yet affordable, upscaling DVD players, its debut Blu-ray player, the BDP-831, (HCC #175) impressed UK buyers at the end of 2009 before distribution issues spoilt the party.įortunately, its successor, the BDP-93EU, is now available and shipping over here via a dedicated Oppo website, which, as we will find out, is jolly good news.
They say the best things come to those who wait and in the case of Oppo’s BDP-93EU, that most certainly is true.
When it comes to image and audio quality, Benny Har-Even can’t get enough of Oppo's new 3D Blu-ray player
