"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, along with DVD-A and SACD support, wide media compatibility and even Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding. Its top-notch picture and sound performance, attractive slimline looks and solid build quality make it an even more appealing package." |

STEREOPHILE: Music in the Round #28
By Kalman Rubinson, February, 2008
Kalman Rubinson reviewed the OPPO DV-980H Universal Up-converting DVD Player together with Integra DTC-9.8 preamplifier-processor. "In fact, for multichannel SACD and DVD-A playback, I would take the Integra-OPPO combo over anything else I've had in this system. I'd been waiting years to experience SACD and DVD-A with decent room EQ and competent bass and channel management without redundant A/D/A conversions, and the experience came up to my expectations." |
