Black Gate Standard
The Upgrade Company has plenty of Black Gate capacitors in stock, although they have been long discontinued.
They are still "State of the Art" & "The World's Best" electrolytic capacitors in many circuit applications.

 

Black Gate Capacitor Explanation

 

 


The Strain Gauge Cartridge
patents pending

"Now with one giant leap, your strain gauge cartridge has leapfrogged the finest moving coil cartridges... I was completely stunned...."
(Ijaz Khan M.D. Mid-Atlantic Audiophile Group)

 

 




"To Upgrade -or- not to Upgrade, there is no Question"


"Own the very best!"


Stock high-end audio gear still leaves a lot to be desired.
Even ultra high end models simply fail to come close sonically to the same model which has been upgraded.

Ultra High End Performance without Ultra High End Pricing

As of 5-27-10 we've come up with several large updates for all of our previous upgrades. For just $299 we will update any age "Signature Edition" upgrade to keep it current. We'll even update our older upgraded units bought off the used marketplace. Much larger more 3D soundstage, stronger and deeper bass output, silkier more lush mids and highs, improved S/N, THD and IMD figures, greater liquidity and transparency. Much more musical and engaging. "Night and Day" level of transformation for some models. We urge you to take advantage of this new development today!

 

The Upgrade Company LLC is a fully Factory Authorized dealer for many brands including Einstein, Tidal, Acapella, Lindemann, Ypsilon, Tom Evans Audio Design, Reimyo, Quad, NuForce, Oppo Digital, Stello, April Music, KingSound, MIT Cables, WireWorld cables, Stage lll cables, ISOCLEAN, Millenium CD Mat, Target welded metal equipment racks from UK, and much more.

 

For our new product offerings from McIntosh, Denon, EMM LABS, Esoteric, Onkyo Pro, Pioneer Elite, Mark Levinson, Revel, Krell and just about anything else made, The Upgrade Company LLC purchase these items factory sealed directly from fully authorized dealers to get the full manufacturer's warranty. If we upgrade it, then we provide an additional 2 years of warranty through The Upgrade Company LLC and Factory Authorized Service Centers.

 

We warrantee our upgrades forever. If anything on any upgraded unit ever fails that we installed... we will fix it. Of course, this does not cover abuse, wrong use, shipping damage, and the like. Does not include shipping costs.

 

OPPO BDP-83SE NuForce Edition

#1 Rated Blu-ray Player enhanced to world class audio performance

OPPO BDP-83SE NuForce Edition

 

OPPO BDP-83 and BDP-83SE Blu-ray Universal players

  • Based on Award-Winning BDP-83
  • Featuring ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC

 

We highly recommend the OPPO BDP-83 "Special Edition" and NuForce modified OPPO 83 Special Edition Blu-ray Universal players,
either Region-Free Worldwide Auto Voltage ready or US Region 1.
The Upgrade Company's brand new OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition and NuForce OPPO 83 Special Edition come fully-upgraded with our "Signature Edition" parts, dampening and shielding upgrade to the ENTIRE player! This includes everything possible, unlike others "mods". We max out everything: all power supplies, video & digital circuits, analog circuits, local power supplies,
all of the dacs and analog stages, not just the front 2 channels.
WBT NextGen RCA outputs
Optional balanced XLR outputs add $199
There are 5 clocks in the NuForce 83SE and OPPO 83SE that are just fine once upgraded. Do not fall for scams charging you hundreds of wasted dollars to replace any one of the 5 highly accurate clocks in the OPPO 83SE based players. The MILLER JITTER ANALYZER proves that "Superclocks" are nothing more then a marketing ploy.
Our new Signature Edition upgraded NuForce 83SE or OPPO 83SE have been judged to be at least the equal of the most expensive SACD/CD players on the market today. Truly a bargain of the tallest order.

Features

 

Ultra High End Performance without Ultra High End Pricing

 

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition & NuForce OPPO 83SE Blu-ray Disc Players are an exciting upgrade based on the highly acclaimed OPPO BDP-83 which is being re-badged in a fancy case by some top names such as Ayre, Theta, Lexicon and others. Already well known for its exceptional audio and video performance, the OPPO BDP-83 is now available from OPPO with an all new analog audio stage and improved power supply to become the Special Edition. Designed for the discerning audio enthusiast, the OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player delivers an exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra low distortion, accurate sound stage and jitter-free music clarity via its dedicated stereo and 7.1ch analog audio output.

 

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. The Sabre32 family is known as one of the industry's highest performance audio DACs and are often found in high-end audiophile and professional equipments. The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses an 8-channel Sabre Premier (ES9006) DAC chip for its 7.1 multi-channel output. The dedicated stereo output uses another 8-channel Sabre32 Ultra (ES9016) DAC chip by stacking 4 DACs for each of the Left and Right channels to achieve even greater audio performance.

The Upgrade Company highly recommends the new OPPO 83SE "Special Edition" and NuForce OPPO 83SE "Special Edition" as a firm foundation to install our cost-is-no-object ultra high performance "Signature Edition" upgrade which employs high end pricey matched parts, critical shielding and dampening. More then DOUBLE the performance of the stock NuForce OPPO 83 Special Edition!

 

Both the OPPO BDP-83, 83 Special Edition and the NuForce OPPO 83 Special Edition play all currently available formats: Blu-ray Video, DVD-Video, SACD, CD, HDCD, DVD-Audio, Kodak Picture CD CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, DVD±R DL, BD-R/RE.

 

Isn't it interesting that AYRE is now modding the OPPO 83SE as their top level player and charging $10,000 for it? Theta Digital is also modding the OPPO 83SE and charging $8,000. Lexicon simply drops the OPPO 83SE into their outer case and does not mod it inside at all yet they charge $5500. The Upgrade Company's Signature Edition upgraded Oppo 83SE's & NuForce Oppo 83SE's are guaranteed to be superior for less then 1/2 the cost.

 

 

  • STELLO DA-100 "Signature" DAC + CDT-100 Redbook CD transport combo - We're now SE upgrading the amazingly affordable yet ultra high end sounding STELLO 100 Series matching CD transport and dac. The dac sports a truly balanced output stage, RCA outputs, and every common input including USB, I2S, AES-EBU (XLR), SPDIF (RCA) and it offers selectable upsampling. This pair is a sleeper sonically. If you don't mind the manual lid, magnetic CD puck and CD only playback, this pair really sings once upgraded.
  • STELLO CDT-100 Transport "Signature Edition" upgraded is priced at $1599.
  • STELLO DAC-100 Digital-to-Analog converter "Signature Edition" upgraded is priced at $1599.
