The following is the original post I made in the master Oppo BDP-83 discussion thread:
I ran the stereo analog outs of my BDP-83 to my PC's soundcard and recorded several SACD track transitions. I have a regular BDP-83 running the latest official firmware. The mp3 file can be dowloaded from the following page:

I tried to get a good mix of record labels. I literally grabbed different discs off the shelf and every one exhibited the problem. Hopefully, there's something in this list AVSers also own and can try on their setups. I didn't alter the recording in any way...just concatenated all the WAV files together. Don't pay attention to the clicks/pops that are present at the extreme beginning or end of each portion...that's just SoundForge being dumb as a result of my cutting and pasting the 10 small WAVs together.
The single vinyl-like click/pop sound can be heard at the following time indices within the mp3:
01) 00:06; Track 1 -> 2; Jarvi/Dvorak Sym 9 (Telarc SACD-60616)
02) 00:16; Track 5 -> 6; Depeche Mode Music for the Masses
03) 00:28; Track 7 -> 8; Karajan/Mozart Requiem (Deutsche Gramm)
04) 00:41; Track 1 -> 2; Pizzaro/Beethoven Piano Sonatas (Linn Records)
05) 01:00; Track 1 -> 2; Beautiful Mind soundtrack
06) 01:11; Track 3 -> 4; Nutcracker Selections (Telarc SACD-60674)
07) 01:28; Track 3 -> 4; Scarlatti Giardino Di Rose (DECCA 470-650-2)
08) 01:38; Track 4 -> 5; Sarah Brightman Time to Say Goodbye (Angel Records)
09) 01:52; Track 5 -> 6; Mozart Requiem/Kuijken Quartet (Challenge Classics 72121)
10) 02:06; Track 6 -> 7; Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits (Epic 86729)
#6 is the loudest of all, I think.
As a small aside, if I push the skip forward or skip backward track buttons on the remote, there is no pop sound.
Now, I will be the first to admit these clicks/pops aren't huge...but they are loud enough to be noticeable and distracting. What do you think?
