Oppo Ceasing production

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.

I may just have to have all my sacd’s transferred to digital drive. I have a 103 that is still running strong.
