Oppo Ceasing production


Just visited Oppo's web site.  They are ceasing production of all their products and will only do warranty work and firmware support for their products.  They no longer have the resources to manufacture new products.  Didn't see this one coming.

Is this decision from Julihs Siksnius' Audire playbook? When he retired, he shut down the factory and did repairs until his memory faded. 

This is a shock to me also. I own a 105 and love it. I still buy physical media and own a high end 2 channel system. I purchased a 4K TV last summer and was thinking about buying a 205 later this year.
People - Oppo announced it will cease producing new products. It did not state it will be going out of business. This means Oppo will remain in business in a more profitable capacity. Purely a business decision.
There has to be more here than meets the eye. How can a company that has been in business for some time suddenly not have the resources to continue to manufacture products that presumably they are making money on. This seems especially hard to believe when the bulk of your business is direct to customer which means you get paid immediately when you sell a product. Who took the money?
