Oppo Ceasing production

I ordered a 203 yesterday.  I use a 105 as a Digital transport into a Bryston DAC3 in my two channel system.  The Oppo will output DSD from SACD into the Bryston over HDMI.
  I have two HT systems in my house and had been toying with the idea of moving the the 105 into one and replacing the 2 channel with a 203, since I am just using the 105 as a transport and am not benefiting from the DAC of the 105.
The announcement made me pull the trigger.  I will now replace several boxes in the HT system and send the Bluesound Node 2 in the HT system into the DAC of the 105.
  I also own the PM3 phones and consider them a great value.
This has really bummed me out

Hard to believe. I'm in Asia frequently and they have retail stores all over the place that are full of customers.

Looks like I better order a 203 quick....

Odd, I already see some heavy price gouging on eBay for OPPO. And then I see some dropping prices, guess we have two schools of thought here.
1/Usually the case when somebody or something "dies", prices rise.....
2/ Some dealers probably don't want to be stuck with stock they maybe think they cannot shift.
Interesting.
Maybe I will wait for the crazies to clear out

I called Oppo yesterday afternoon.  They said that they have enough money in the bank to either develop new product or provide support/warranty on existing products for the next few years; they can't do both.  Do to slower sales and higher cost of parts, they didn't see a future in new products.  They don't think that they can generate enough sales going forward to keep the company going.  I think they did the right/honorable thing and decided to put customer satisfaction first.

I myself, have owned/own three Oppo products.  I've never had a problem with any of them.  I've never even had a reason to call them for anything; the products just worked!  I'm shocked and saddened by their announcement.  At least they'll walk off into the sunset with their heads held high.
