Why is Oppo stopping products.

noble100,

I'm sure your right, but it is really a shame. Great products and great customer support, what more could we ask for?

Ozzy,

     You summed up my thoughts on Oppo perfectly:
"Great products and great customer support, what more could we ask for?"

     I would just add "all at an affordable price".

RIP Oppo, you will be missed.

I have an '09 BMW that does have a CD player, and a new MINI Turbo that does not...weirdly, nobody in the car industry asked me if it's OK to bag CD players in cars, as I would have said, "Hell no." 

I have an OPPO BDP-83 SE which has performed flawlessly for years.  I bought the SE (Special Edition) because of its upgraded analog audio section and I want the OPPO USP-205 for the same reasons.  Even more, because it now uses a linear power supply instead of the inferior switch mode power supply that is in the 83SE.  I remain a two channel audio dinosaur by choice and I know of no other DVD player that has analog out ports.
I am one of those that tried to buy from Magnolia and missed out because they oversold their inventory.  Of course I immediately signed up with OPPO and am practically praying they will make that last production run.  I could almost justify buying two, the second one at my computer as a DAC for both computer sound and streaming as it is UPnP capable, though I would use the SPDIF optical port instead, which I am told offers much better audio than USB.  

^The Sony UBP-1000Xes has analog outputs, though only via RCAs. It’s available through Best Buy’s Magnolia department. I haven’t any experience with it. The few Magnlolia’s I visited either only had static displays or connected via HDMI, and none seemed interested in connecting via analog output for audition. Stereophile gave the Sony’s predecessor a luke warm recommendation. WhatHiFi gave the current X1000 a solid recommendation, especially for sound. I would be most curious to read others thoughts on it.
