All Quiet on the Oppo front?

Just received my Oppo email day before yesterday, and ordered my 205 yesterday.   Arrives next week.

@jhajeski. When did you express an initial interest in the Oppo player?

My UDP-205 is on its way. FedEx says I should have it 09.19.18. Can’t wait to receive this and see how it holds up against my Cambridge 851C which I think is a great player for the money. I’ll be surprised for audio if the Oppo is as good but we’ll see or hear and I will report back. I needed a nice video player so I’m sure it will be very good for that nonetheless. I love hearing how people claim this is the Holy Grail for digital playback. Not ever hearing one I could never chime in so here soon I will be able to give my cents for what it is worth... can’t wait.

@celander...
Not sure of the exact date, but it wasn't anytime recent.   I submitted my interest pretty early in the process.   I'll see if I can find the original email or confirmation.

I received my invitation to purchase a UDP-205 this afternoon and just have completed the transaction. For what it's worth, I got on the waiting list during the first week of April, then received confirmation that I was on the waitlist on May 9. I thought that they had passed over me, and I'm happy to be able to buy one. There was no way that I was going to pay the $2500 and up prices offered for units recently shipped to other buyers. I hope that those of you who signed up early are able to get one while they are available.
