Just visited Oppo's web site. They are ceasing production of all their products and will only do warranty work and firmware support for their products. They no longer have the resources to manufacture new products. Didn't see this one coming.
Guys, I read in one of the other forums that Oppo is closing due to lawsuits and copyright infringement issues. Apparently, the plan is close down Oppo and create a new company. I guess only time will tell, if this is true.
I was reading that they spent considerable capital on investing and co producing the 4K chip and ultimately it set them up for a long term loss they decided was too much and therefore are closing prematurely in order to maintain service for existing customers for as long as they could.
Also that the investment in 4K was so high that they were forced to diversify their product line (headphones, Bluetooth audio and DACs) to subsidize it but ultimately it wasn’t strong enough of supplemental sales.
