If you are using the player's ability to do SACD DSD to PCM decoding, then there is no performance difference in the new firmware in this regard.
Thanks! I missed that, or just did not pay attention.

I tend to look at the threads relating to problems that I am actually having, rather than those I am not. :-)

I cannot connect via wireless. Ran connection test to be sure. Nflix works fine, so it's on the net. When I go to FW update and choose the third option, I get the same connection error it's been giving since day one. USB adapter connected to extension cable.

Wireless update won't work until you've updated the firmware. Use a USB drive or a burned CD this one time.

Did you notice this in the firmware page for Oppo?

Note: The player does not support the "Via Network" upgrade method if it uses a wireless Internet connection. Please choose the "Via USB" or "Via Disc" method instead. Once this new firmware version is installed, the player will be able to upgrade via the wireless Internet in the future.

Off to grab a USB drive to do the upgrade.

After the FW upgrade, I now have SACD to my Pioneer 1018 via DSD working perfectly over HDMI1.

No biggie.

The firmware upgrade went smooth.

And guess what, it obtains an IP address upon boot up!

I am golden now!

Thank you Oppo for fixing this!

SD-DVDs still need some work -- i.e., it will get even better. It will be interesting to see whether any of the problems are found here before the fixes get released.

Blu-Ray playback should be the bees knees with this firmware. If you are calibrating your video, RECHECK THAT, as well as rechecking any decisions you might have made as to the best choice for video output format and Deep Color settings.

There are still bugs being worked on. As usual, Beta testers are limited in what they can say. But honestly, this firmware should be a big improvement for folks over the original pre-release firmware.

That would be telling.

I think we actually want to find out what you guys find rather than laying it out for you.

The response of the remote seems very fast now (a good thing). I hope I'm not just imagining things.

There is a "Video Only" option on HDMI1, under the video settings. Default is "off" . Should fix the "audio on the 2 HDMI" requested by somebody here.

The new firmware works as advertised with my Pioneer VSX-32. No more problems with HDMI1 output and SACD is fantastic. For a "first time" update, they've done very well! Many thanks to the betas!

Main Version: BDP9x-33-1216
Loader Version: CN0500
Sub Version: MCU93-06-1008
Release Notes:

1. HDMI compatibility improvements.
2. Compatibility fix for multi-channel SACD playback over HDMI in DSD mode.
3. General disc compatibility improvement based on recent and upcoming Blu-ray releases as well as user-submitted disc samples.

The release notes are incredibly sparse, but believe me, the changes are very dramatic and will greatly improve the performance and compatibility of the player in most configurations.

The Firmware also adds media compatibility for APE, as well as fixes some issues related to FLAC media playback over USB and eSATA (have not tried DLNA yet).

This Firmware can be upgraded through Network (Ethernet only, WiFi does not work with the current 21-1108 Firmware), CD, and USB methods.

The BDP-93 User's Manual is also available.
What about the HDMI handshaking issues via HDMI 1? Going through all the stuff in this thread, the only thing that sticks out as something that was a universal pre-release issue (not limited to a specific receiver, or not some obscure file format via DLNA), seemed to be lots of handshaking issues with HDMI 1. Is that fixed with this update?

If so, Oppo is really on the right track.

Wow, that took less than a minute to upgrade over my network. Hopefully this will help with the HDMI handshaking issues...

DOwnloaded quickly and flawlessly. I'm going to put it back downstairs and see if I can get 3D to work through HDMI1 and the Pioneer 1020. I'll put back upstairs once my JVC gets here.

This is what point 1 on their releases notes is. Most of the observed issues with HDMI 1 (audio and video handshakes) will be resolved with this firmware. There are still issues which need to be addressed, but the implementation it much better than the original firmware.

I think you will notice some changes with HDMI-1 handshaking.

Updated about 2 hours ago.My first impressions are better menu animation,faster remote response.Not sure yet,but I think PQ is the same with both SD and HD sources.
No zoom options on Blu ray with BD-J yet.
