Why is Oppo stopping products.

Ozzy,

     You summed up my thoughts on Oppo perfectly:
"Great products and great customer support, what more could we ask for?"

     I would just add "all at an affordable price".

RIP Oppo, you will be missed.

I have an '09 BMW that does have a CD player, and a new MINI Turbo that does not...weirdly, nobody in the car industry asked me if it's OK to bag CD players in cars, as I would have said, "Hell no." 

I have an OPPO BDP-83 SE which has performed flawlessly for years.  I bought the SE (Special Edition) because of its upgraded analog audio section and I want the OPPO USP-205 for the same reasons.  Even more, because it now uses a linear power supply instead of the inferior switch mode power supply that is in the 83SE.  I remain a two channel audio dinosaur by choice and I know of no other DVD player that has analog out ports.
I am one of those that tried to buy from Magnolia and missed out because they oversold their inventory.  Of course I immediately signed up with OPPO and am practically praying they will make that last production run.  I could almost justify buying two, the second one at my computer as a DAC for both computer sound and streaming as it is UPnP capable, though I would use the SPDIF optical port instead, which I am told offers much better audio than USB.  

^The Sony UBP-1000Xes has analog outputs, though only via RCAs. It’s available through Best Buy’s Magnolia department. I haven’t any experience with it. The few Magnlolia’s I visited either only had static displays or connected via HDMI, and none seemed interested in connecting via analog output for audition. Stereophile gave the Sony’s predecessor a luke warm recommendation. WhatHiFi gave the current X1000 a solid recommendation, especially for sound. I would be most curious to read others thoughts on it.

Wolf,

I have over 3000 CD's, In FLAC on my Phone, all which are playable through the head unit in the car.  Why would we want to go back to the days of in-dash CD's players or truck mounted Changers; they were a pain in the ass.  I no longer have to worry about Jewel cases and alphabetizing my CD's to make them easy to find.  I now have my entire library in my pocket and I can listening to it anywhere.  

Pretty soon, the same will be true of Video.  That's why OPPO got out when it did.
