Oppo Ceasing production

Sorry to hear that.  Must be a very competitive market and hard to make profit with limited market squeezed on all sides and narrow margins on sales alone.   Could the festering trade war with China be a culprit?

This is sad. I don't own any Oppo players, but agree they are very good. They were a major player in affordable digital.

Wow, this is a surprise! But, then again, I guess it's really not. I don't know a single person who still buys CDs like I do for my Oppo 103. I mentioned to an audiophile friend I was considering purchasing a better CD player. His only response was "You might want to re-consider that".

Wow!  Didn't see that one coming!

I have a PS Audio memory player.  I think they use an Oppo disk unit in that product.  I wonder if their parts are used in lots of other name brand products?

When you look at the pittance you need to spend to get a reasonably competent BR player from Sony or similar, perhaps it's explicable that they weren't getting sufficient market share.  But it's still a sad day.  They were diversifying, etc.  Until today, I would have cited them as a success story.
