There are other nice convenience features like Remote Control Apps, RS232 Control, Gracenote, etc. It's nice to see some manufacturers still believe in Build Quality. So many players these says are on Weight Watchers and are nearly paper thin! The 103 is built around a steel chassis. Triple USB ports, a Back lit Remote and PAL/NTSC Conversion for those import titles that just aren't available yet over here. And I can't dismiss the fact it has an excellent rigid chassis construction. It also has a MHL (Mobile HD Link) input which makes life easy when wanting to connect your smartphone or tablet to the front of the unit for playback.
Unless you are using a Darblet which in that case you go straight into it then to your display. The 103 can do both Wireless and Ethernet for the internet. Some will argue but I am a firm believer that you get the absolute best of both worlds sending those signals straight to the source without any detours. As for the Dual HDMI outs this simply allows you to send the image directly to your display while using the othr HDMI out to send the Audio to your AVR or pre-pro. As well as two INPUTS (more on that soon) front and back. So what else does the 103 offer that makes it tough to beat? You get my favorite feature with Dual HDMI outs. For the purpose of this Review I used a Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K projector.
For those that plan or already have a 4K (Ultra HD) display the 103 can upscale (3840 X 2160) the image. And if you happen to have a dedicated video processor there is a Source Direct Mode which allows the image to pass through without alteration. Their Kyoto-G2H video processing is second to none. The 103 is using the latest generation Qdeo technology from Marvell. I am pleased to say that Streaming looks excellent. Of course the most important feature is the image quality. You name it and the 103 has got it! If you are still using a couple players which are assigned for different tasks then Oppo has you covered. The Oppo BDP-103 has quietly come out but will certainly make a loud splash! Oppo has released another "cost effective" Universal player which will handle Blu ray, Blu ray 3D, SACDs, DVD-Audio, 2D to 3D Conversion, Netflix/VUDU HD (1080p Streaming), Pandora (as well as many other Network Apps) and not to mention DVDs, CDs and a vast variety of other Media Formats.
