Is it safe to say that this is the best upconverter for standard def DVDs?

Probably at least for $500, or the 983 which is the same VRS chipset scaler except 983 lacks 24hz output for DVD-Video films. 983 is easy to mod to region free, but the 83 requires a hardware chip.

I own the 983 and standard 83, using coaxial on 983, 5.1 RCA on 83. 83 hardware modded (now DVD region free, selectable BD region)

I had my heart set on the BDP-83 for both upconverting and Blu-Ray. Glad I asked There's just so many upconverting Blu-Ray players out there...but the Oppo seems to be the best.

Now I just have to order it. Ooooh, my credit card is SCREAMING!

If you don't use the analogue outputs don't buy the 83SE. Or perhaps if your audio rig isn't top end or don't want to spend £800 on a BD player.

I won't be buying the SE. Just the 'normal' BDP-83.

Thankfully, there's an online Canadian seller and I don't have to worry about customs and shipping from the US.

FYI, in depth discussion here on the differences between the BDP-83 and the BDP-83 SE.
Official BDP-83SE Analog Audio Discussion Only Thread - AVS Forum

I'm debating on whether to upgrade my Emotiva DMC-1 to an Emotiva UMC-1. Or buy the BDP-83 SE and use 8 Channel analog out to my Emotiva DMC-1.
