Why stop at the 83, 93?
The 105D has every kind of connection you need and an ESS DAC.

Have a look at the new UDP203 which has just been released. It handles the 4K Video format and performs way better than the BDP83 because of that feature. It runs cooler than the BDP83 and doesn't use a fan which the older models need.

A friend of mine has both of these products and we've been able to compare them last week.Your DVDs will look sharper and expose better colors with the UDP203. That new unit also has an outstanding audio performance. It also features analog audio outputs for your receivers which don't have HDMI inputs.

It really depends on what you want to do with the player. If you're not going to use the analog outs (i.e. digital outputs only), the 105 is extreme overkill; the 103 will do everything the 105 does for less than half the price. There's nothing wrong with the 83 and 93 (I had a 80!) but there may be some features of the 103 you'd miss. Certainly the players got better over time. Any would be compatible with Blu-ray video and audio formats with just about any HDMI receiver less than 10 years old.
