All Quiet on the Oppo front?

@ptss The Oppo service folks respond with info when specific inquiries are sent to them via email. I’ve had good success getting such info twice from them in the past several days. 

I have found with a direct inquiry straight to service@OPPO gave very rapid replies.
3 times over last 3 days I have emailed and reply varied from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Thanks for the heads up that your contact is made with service. Never thought to call them— not being an owner. I love sharper minds; would love to trade up!

I have to agree that I thought their speel on in-house manufactured parts was a little hokey.
Pretty sure vast majority of internal parts would be sourced from sub contractors.

There maybe a few in-house parts though and possibly that is what put the kibosh and making more.

However we have their "official line " now so it is what it is.

Btw my last email to them I made it clear I was sharing this information on Audiogon forums so I very much doubt it is not correct or info that they do not want public.

Our 205 is of great interest to us- but- let’s not overlook that in the 2nd “quarter” of 2018 Oppo shipped over 28 “million” smartphones.  As in some other audio specialty companies; the money is elsewhere.
