Seems to me, there has to be other options other than Oppo.
I am not the expert here, but my impression of my 205 is that it's REALLY good for the money, but I'm not sure it's the best at anything.
Theta Prime II sounds at least as good for 2 ch, but it doesn't do more than that. Tells me that there should be better surround processers out there.
i did limited research when I bought it, but some of what I read, the cheaper Sony's are supposed to have good picture.
So I don't know...I am sure there are many that have more informed opinions than mine.
Seems to me, the Oppo was great for the money, but the decision to end business in that area is more a loss for Oppo than for the consumer as a whole. It won't be long until someone else steps in to fill the gap. Possible the product(s) are available now, just not well known.
