price of Oppo players threw the roof

Hang in there audiostick as it sounds like they have only just started and in early part of April orders so far.
You are 3rd to 4th week April depending how you look at it so still could be a lot of people before you.

Received an offer to buy like all the others here. Already have an UDP-203 and wondering if I should pull the trigger for an UDP-205 or not.

Is the 205 significantly better than 203 for strictly 2 channel playback?

Thank you in advance.

I would think not many will know that answer as vast majority here in same boat of waiting for a 205.
However just going off the specifications it should be superior as it has dedicated 2 channel dacs , balanced 2 channel outputs etc.I believe.

Just like the 95vs93 and 105vs103 but hopefully on an even greater magnitude.

What is worst that happens if you are not impressed?
You resell it again with extreme ease!

Finally got my email last night, so I'm better now.  It's been a long two months.

Personally, Looking at it as both a Disc Player and a DAC, the unit justifies itself at that price.  Plus, I just like OPPO.
