OPPO Digital
Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, award-winning OPPO Digital, Inc. manufactures and markets high quality digital electronics that deliver style, innovation, value, and performance to A/V enthusiasts and savvy consumers alike. The company's leading R&D, high-performance products, and strong customer focus distinguish it from traditional consumer-electronics brands.
As an ideal source component for the latest audio/video receivers with HDMI, the DV-980H stands out from competing products by featuring PCM and DSD multi-channel high resolution audio through its HDMI 1.2a output and for DVD-Audio and SACD," wrote Clint DeBoer of Audioholics.
OPPO's DV-980H up-converting player won top honors in the highly competitive DVD and Universal Disc Player category. The latest addition to OPPO's award-winning collection of up-converting players, the DV-980H offers 1080p video up-conversion and 7.1-channel audio output - enabling standard DVDs to look their best on high-definition televisions and ensuring audio lovers enjoy a wealth of high-resolution music. The player features a USB 2.0 port, high resolution photo slide show capability, and DivX playback function to open the home theater to digital cameras, portable audio players, and content downloaded from the Internet.
"Consumers clearly want to future proof to some extent their existing DVD libraries as well as move user generated as well as purchased content that resides on multiple consumer electronics products, and bring it into their home theater experience. Upconverting DVD players like the DV-980H allow them to do that quite easily," said Randy Giusto, group vice president and general manager of IDC's Mobility, Computing, and Consumer markets research group."
Along with the DV-980H, OPPO's HM-31 HDMI Switch was also recognized - winning best product in the Splitter and Switches category. As one of the few HDMI Switches to pass the official HDMI 1.3 certification test, the HM-31 is compatible with all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200. Equipped with advanced HDMI 1.3 features such as Deep Color, higher bandwidth and a signal equalizer, the HM-31 is ready to support the latest generation of home theater products.
"Audioholics sets a clear benchmark in identifying products that will make an impact in the coming year," said Jason Liao, vice president of product development for OPPO Digital. "We're thrilled that not one, but two, of our products took home top honors this year. Since their release, both the DV-980H and HM-31 have created a loyal following within the audio and video communities for offering high quality and versatility, without a big price tag."

ProLogue Eight
Nel migliore stile PrimaLuna, il nuovo, sorprendente lettore CD ProLogue Eight rivoluzionerà l'industria audio con l'arrivo del Super Tube Clock, il primo dispositivo di data clocking basato su una circuitazione a valvole. Grazie ad un mini-triodo a basso rumore nel clock digitale, l’ardita progettazione del ProLogue Eight ha come risultato una risoluzione ampiamente superiore, migliore chiarezza, definizione più accurata e maggiore dettaglio, su tutta la risposta in frequenza.
Il ProLogue Eight è un vero componente dual mono, fino alle doppie valvole raddrizzatrici, un'alta novità per i lettori CD. Lo stadio di alimentazione, derivato dal preamplificatore ProLogue Three, utilizza resistenze e mosfet di alta qualità, oltre ai condensatori Solen, raggiungendo un miglior comportamento in parametri quali i transienti, il dettaglio e la separazione dei canali.
