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?

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.


Best Regards,

Well, that is the Oppo official line now. Sounds like one of their suppliers ran into a snafu. Only Q is how many runs remain.

That message also makes me wonder about their ability to service players going forward.
