Oppo Ceasing production

echolane:

Regarding the 205 and connectivity:

I will soon move into a rental and my listening/TV/HT room will belong to someone else. My 2ch music system has, until now, been separate from TV/HT surround sound system in the same room. My 2ch system will handle the audio from my video sources. Hopefully, the 205 will accept HDMI video input from my Dish network receiver ( or its replacement ) and send audio from both shiny DVDs and satellite to my Naim Uniti, either by its HDMI audio or RCA analog output, and send video from both to a TV via its HDMI video output (been using a projector for over a decade and haven’t shopped for a TV in 20 years...). Like you, I am both getting old and transitioning to the brave new world of music and video content without physical media. The 205 will be my last source component that spins discs. My grandkids like loading DVDs and looking at their cases, much like I was with lps and their covers. A hopeful sign for the future of physical media?

I'll also vouch for Allen (allenone973).  He hooked me up with a UDP-205 through Magnolia Audio-Video here in Atlanta with no price gouging.  I also bought a new UDP-203.  I'll decide which to keep and sell the other; I figured it is better to have two and not need one than to have none and wish I had bought.  I also have a BDP-203 that has given me 4 years of service.  

I appreciate it everybody. You were all wise to act when you did. After tomorrow we will almost certainly be sold out. We were down to around 10 at closing time tonight. Better safe than sorry as who knows if Oppo will actually make another run. Looking forward to seeing that pallet full of Oppo show up later this week!

Hi Allen, please add me to your UDP-205 list.  My Audiogon email address is up to date to begin the transaction.  thank you dan
