Oppo Ceasing production

if only because there are so many billions of discs existing in the world there will  be a decent-sized legacy market for physical media for the immediate future. however, i'd expect that market to shrink very quickly-- it's unusual to find a kid under 30 who has ever bought a cd--i surmise that oppo has the prescience to stop investing in a dying medium. what is more puzzling is that they're also stopping production of their headphone products (which are well regarded and seemingly high-margin) and would seem to have continuing viability.

Note: Oppo sent out email notifications asking to click back to really receive notifications on the 205.
I heard about this and never got a notice, so I reregistered and got the notice immediately.
So if you are interested in a new 205, you still can register at Oppo.

@elizabeth , it will be great to hear a comparison between the Marantz and the Oppo, once you get it.
Of course the Marantz will slam the Oppo, but by how much? That would be interesting. Hope you can post this. Thanks in advance!!
