A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
Sounds like there is a need for a group hug here. @teajay probably should review and endorse some under-the-radar product line carried by @audiotroy  
Onkyo & Pioneer “UDP-LX500”, a universal disc player,
No. Entirely different design. In terms of outward connectivity, the Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra HD Blu-ray Player has balanced audio outputs like the Oppo 205. But this machine is also quite different from the Oppo units.  
All Quiet on the Oppo front?
@ptss The Oppo service folks respond with info when specific inquiries are sent to them via email. I’ve had good success getting such info twice from them in the past several days.

The margins are much, much higher. Each player, from soup to nuts, can’t be much more than $400 cost to manufacture. That means Oppo is making a profit of $700-$900, depending on tariffs and import and consumer shipping costs.

Oppo is making huge profits by selling direct. They cut out their distributor and dealer network. They will continue to release this product over the next 12 months. The suckers who bought product with the intent to flip at gouging price rates are...

☝🏻☝🏻Clearly stated, thanks!I asked Oppo about multiple product purchases from folks having used multiple email addresses. Here is their response:”We are limiting sales to one per customer/household regardless of email addresses.”So some of these r...

@mcgal thanks for your follow-up. That’s the same email I got back then.  
All Quiet on the Oppo front?
