Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Player (Oppo BDP-83 Clone) Review

[admin]

It's an Oppo BDP-83. Normally we'd launch into a statement like this with more tact. We may, for example, wax eloquent about the Lexicon BD-30's beautiful chassis or it's billet aluminum front face. We could tell you about the heft of the unit, or the fact that comes double boxed with enough padding to warrant throwing it off the FedEx or UPS truck while it's still moving. While all of that is true, the Lexicon BD-30 is still an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player. And what's more, it's not just using the same parts - they actually stuck the player inside - chassis and all. This would be OK, were it not for the $3000 premium and THX certification. As Sherlock Holmes would say: The game is afoot!

What? A boutigue brand go bad?? Why buy the Oppo when you can have Lexicon?? Isn't it worth the extra $3000 designer dollars??

Seems like you can't please the manufacturers or consumers by simply reporting truthful findings

The picture of the underside of the chassis was surprising. Based on the pictures, it looks like a mighty expensive faceplate upgrade.

I imagine that foundedly Oppo is laughing all the way to the bank.

I imagine that Lexicon thinks it's laughing all the way to tbe bank.

They seem to be slamming you because of the processor Lexicon sells that does 7.1 LPCM. They disregarded the part where you said Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD on a processor.

The truth hurts.

Next time try sugar coating it.

So BBK must be selling to other mfgs as well. The rumors that the CA 650 has software that seems identical to the Oppos, but with a different input and faceplate layout.
