Why so much less for the new Oppo UDP-203?


Sorry for the noob question, but why is the just-released Oppo UDP-203 half as much as the existing 105? No intent or opinion; just curiosity.

With the 9x series, Oppo first released the 93, then the higher fidelity 95 variant. Same with the 10x series as they first released the 103, then the higher fidelity 105. It is very possible that they with do the same with the 203, first releasing the base model 203, then later on releasing a higher fidelity 205.

The above is just a guess based on past actions from Oppo.
The Oppo BDP-105 is a "reference-like" player with higher quality internal parts(DACs, power supplies, etc.) and a better/stronger/heftier chassis, while the 203 is Oppos version of a consumer model that does 4K, though clearly better than most mfr's "consumer" models.  The 205 4K is the reference model equivalent of the 105.

I couldn't find any info regarding the remote and volume control.  Does anyone know if these new models with have built in remote volume control as the other Oppos have?
