All Quiet on the Oppo front?

Many Oppo fans were talking about getting their pre-ordered UDP-205's a month ago, but no new posts as to current status. I haven't heard a word. I kinda thought there would be a July release, but apparently not.

Anybody receive any news from Oppo in the past month?

Oppo just posted yesterday that the last batch of 205s are all gone.  If you have not received a notice to buy one by now then the only way to buy one is to get a new one on Ebay for around $2350.  After a few weeks the only ones left will be even higher in price.  End of story!  So long Oppo.

I am so glad I got one.  The modified Oppo is incredible (better on discs than the modded LKS DAC or modded Sonica DAC).  Will be using it for years and years.

I’ll pass. Oppo will be obsolete soon enough.

OPPO has never been very musical, what is it today that has so many wanting one?

@ozzy,

Same here, for 4K movies and as my Blu-Ray player.  I have no interest in using it in my audio system.  I am running mine with the LG TV and sound goes through a Zvox.  Good enough for the occasional movie.
