My previous postings(2010) about BD-30 and Oppo BDP-83 (not 83SE):

"An Review of Lexicon BD-30 (US $3500):
It's an Oppo BDP-83. Normally we'd launch into a statement like this with more tact. We may, for example, wax eloquent about the Lexicon BD-30's beautiful chassis or it's billet aluminum front face. We could tell you about the heft of the unit, or the fact that comes double boxed with enough padding to warrant throwing it off the FedEx or UPS truck while it's still moving. While all of that is true, the Lexicon BD-30 is still an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player. And what's more, it's not just using the same parts - they actually stuck the player inside - chassis and all. This would be OK, were it not for the $3000 premium and THX certification. As Sherlock Holmes would say: The game is afoot! "

Then, this past January, the Audioholics website reviewed Lexicon's BD-30 Blu-ray player and revealed that, under the skin, the $3500 BD-30 was the $500 Oppo BDP-83. At first, I wasn't surprised; Lexicon itself had said last fall that the BD-30 was based on the Oppo, and Kalman Rubinson, in his March 2010 "Music in the Round" column—submitted to me a month before the Audioholics exposé—had found the differences between the Oppo and Lexicon players minimal: "there seemed to be a bit more brightness and clarity in the treble, and at times a little more richness in the midrange. But the differences were so small that, absent an A/B comparison, I would probably not have noticed them. . . . I do not think that most buyers would find the minor improvements cost-effective."
According to Lexicon, however, "We had our electrical and electronic engineering teams go through the audio and video circuitry in meticulous detail to make some performance improvements to both the analog audio and video circuitry. This, more than anything else, is where we made our biggest improvements to the end product. . . . The BD-30 is also customized with its own firmware, making it notably different than the Oppo in terms of upgrades. The BD-30 goes through final assembly at the Harman offices in Elkhart, Indiana."
But apparently Lexicon hadn't just based their design on the Oppo—it was an Oppo, to which had been added a hefty front panel and chassis and THX certification. As the photos accompanying the Audioholics report revealed, it looked as if the complete Oppo player had been dropped into a new chassis, with no other hardware changes made. Oh, dear!
