Oppo Ceasing production

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.

Anyone who pays over retail for a 205 is a fool IMHO

Glad I bought an OPPO HA-1 DAC. Hard find one now.

I think the combination of 4K and streaming services are the major culprits in Oppo's decision to jump ship. The price jump from DVDs to Blu-Rays years ago was somewhat of a shock, but there was still growth potential there. With the price of most 4K discs being around $25, very few people are going to get on that merry-go-round for the 2nd time. I'm
pretty sure Oppo has crunched the numbers and seen there's no future in producing hardware for discs that relatively few people are buying in numbers big enough to support the platform.

Does this mean that Lexicon is also ceasing blu-ray player production? :) sorry, old joke!
