I've had a few inquiries so I thought I should elaborate...
When I purchased the DV-983H, I was using it just for music and movies via the S/PDIF output and wanted the best sound possible so I contacted Douglas at ASi Teknologies and he optimized the unit for digital output. A couple years later I upgraded to the Oppo BDP-83 (and later to the BDP-95) so I moved the DV-983H to my bedroom and used the analog outs in my bedroom system. It sounded fantastic. I've since replaced it with a decent blu-ray player (the Sony BDP-S790) and while the picture is better, the Oppo blows it away sound wise. It's not even close; I no longer can listen to CDs in the bedroom but my wife want to be able to watch blu-ray movies upstairs

So the DV-983H would be ideal for someone looking for top-notch transport or a very good sounding CD player, with excellent performing DVD playback as a bonus. Let me know if you have any other questions.
