Is OPPO losing it's way?

Their new 'upgrade' Sonica DAC is using the new ESS ES9038PRO Sabre Dac; while the new
UHD player UDP-203 uses the new AKM (4458). What gives? Why not just use the best for both-especially with the promise of UHD?

I am using Oppo105 Tidal music streaming at 44.1Khz/16bits. The sound is amazing. I would prefer an Oppo105D so I can use foobar to stream SACD. Using Ipad Oppo Media Control is so easy. I connect Oppo to Amp directly using Oppo volume control because Oppo has 32bit DAC.

Oppo is a huge phone maker in China & I am interested that they are in the audiophile disc player market at all - I've only seen one interview with the head honcho (or one of them) but I get the impression he is interested in sound himself

no business has the say 'way' or direction as all their customers - just enjoy it while it lasts

When it was modded by ModWright or Exemplar Audio and cost $3700 - $5000. Then watch out.
