All Quiet on the Oppo front?

Yeah, I was surprised too, as I had emailed Oppo like a month before to ask if I could still get on the list. They responded and said i was too late.
Then weeks after in a conversation on Audio Asylum,  a inmate posted a link to register. I tried it and to my surprise I got one.

Totally out of sync with my understanding of Oppo and their ground rules. 

I asked about Allan’s claim of getting on the list by an alternative means. Oppo said no such alternative pathway exists. 

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

I bought it for 4K movies.

@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.

I got my Oppo 205 modified by Ric Schultz at EVS and it sounds just wonderful. I got the super single ended RCA mod plus the upgraded power supply and it sounds wonderful. Trust me I had very high expectations for this unit and it has met them. FYI, I heard the Denafrips Terminator Dac audition at Axpona and I do not think it sounded as good at my EVS modded Oppo 205 does.This player has a huge soundstage with oodles of low level detail and a big fleshed out sound.

@mental. Oppo offers a lot of features unrelated to playback of discs. And, apparently, a lot of folks want to spend even more money modding it to sound better.

I purchased the Oppo UDP-205 for 2-channel audio only. It is a pretty nice audio player.

Like my 105, I got mine primarily for use as a 5.1 processor with its analog outputs into my two and three channel amps when I need HT.
