DVD by Oppo 205

Thanks again guys. With auxinput comments re the video and Darbee I found out the 205 has a completely new video chip they partnered with a video chipmaker to jointly design. I hear so much good about Oppo I have to assume the new chip will outperform the previous. And I assume Darbee will bring out an improved stand-alone fairly soon which may be used with the 205 if reviews are positive. So I have decided on the 205 if I upgrade now. I appreciate the new videos made in 4K will be much better than upconverted DVD’s however I have a huge selection in DVDs that I enjoy in 1080i from HDMI and all the positive comments indicate there’ll be a noticeable benefit with the 205. I appreciate your inputs very much. 

I had a similar question regarding plain old Blu-Ray and the rep at OPPO told me that if all I wanted to do is view Blu-Ray and not any 4K content, then I should stick with my 103 and not bother with the 203 or 205 as there wouldn't be any improvement. If you have any further doubts. give them a call as they are quite honest about their gear.

All the best,

If the rep told you there wouldn't be **any** difference then that may be a bit misleading.

Seeing the differences, I allow for the improvements in some areas but not so much with standard Blu-Ray. The advanced processor, Dolby Vision, and the AKM DAC could be of benefit but I don't know if I'd notice a difference. Thanks for the link.

Yes in most cases.
