Is OPPO worth the inflated price?

I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video)  but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .

If going digital out, it performs no differently than any other quality player. It’s DAC however is one of the best on the market.

You can get the Pioneer LX500 for around $1000 and add in a Clones Audio power supply for another $450 and have one great performing unit.

Not worth the $3500 price tag with a average quality DAC.

I was fortunate enough to get one of the last production runs.

Then, I was even more fortunate to look at Ebay and see how much they were selling for.  I had 100% planned on keeping it and using it.

But, more than double my money on electronics?  Yes Please.  Sold.
