Oppo Gone - Now What?

Good deal Oppo!

And that is why I have been urging people to NOT pay a penny over normal base price!
I ordered mine through Magnolia and kudos to them for charging just the 1299 plus tax!
Please ignore all the racketeers on eBay!

It makes sense for them to do this from all of the concern and demand. They already have one more shipment of 203s coming this summer, the factory hasn't been completely shuttered, and they have a ready audience for the product. One last hurrah. 

All the best,
Nonoise

Bummed at Oppo leaving, but honestly, the lack of streaming apps on the 205 is a deal breaker for me.  My 105 is perfect!.... and the idea of teaching my wife yet ANOTHER new way of navigating to Netflix is a discussion i'm not ready for!!   Yes I know I can plug a streaming device into the 205, but that's yet another remote configuration.  Too complicated!   I'd rather plug the streaming device into my TV or AV pre/pro to reduce the number of boxes involved, rather than pass through the 205 for the better sound.  

since a lot of the streaming apps are now part of the cable or satellite services, its probably less of an issue for many people.

If you want to order a 205 from Magnolia Best Buy while they still have a few available (and I'm told they will ship for free), here is the contact info:  Jim  seven seven zero three nine one four seven three two

I have no affiliation with Jim or BB...consider this a public service announcement!!

As the world moves to streaming, the 205 will probably be one of the last generation of great CD players; most likely a few years down the road you will be using a CD transport connected to your DAC/Streamer to play discs, when you aren't streaming from a service or from your own library.

Or, we will all be back to vinyl???

I would have to disagree on free shipping I am afraid, they charged me $49 to ship mine.....
