All Quiet on the Oppo front?


Many Oppo fans were talking about getting their pre-ordered UDP-205's a month ago, but no new posts as to current status. I haven't heard a word. I kinda thought there would be a July release, but apparently not.

Anybody receive any news from Oppo in the past month?

If that is true then I am not sure how, if I ran OPPO, I would begin to explain to the shareholders how I knowingly threw away $2 million profit.

Makes me think has to be more to it, say a certain part of parts not available to be able to build more
The margins are much, much higher. Each player, from soup to nuts, can’t be much more than $400 cost to manufacture. That means Oppo is making a profit of $700-$900, depending on tariffs and import and consumer shipping costs.
That is a whole pile of cash OPPO are ignoring.
I don't care how large a global company they are, how do you justify turning down so much easy money?
And right after I posted this reply from OPPO when I asked the profit question.

So there is your answer,once these runs are done it is over no matter the demand.

 


Kevin,


We can't just manufacture players from off the shelf parts. These players have to be built from scratch. Everything from the boards to the aluminum panels, have to be manufactured than assembled. We are no longer in a manufacturing position to manufacture the parts anymore for the final assembly of the UDP-205.


Therefore, we are not able to manufacture any additional players, regardless of the demand.
