Is OPPO worth the inflated price?

I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video)  but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .

They didn’t, that division of OPPO was shut down (the Hi-Fi 4K market is small).

Since I own both 203 and 205’s, I know exactly how transparent the DAC inside the 205. 

Which one of these you own?

As I’ve stated elsewhere, if you know you are playing that DAC, your evaluations are invalid from a credibility viewpoint.

I was expressing my opinion based on my experience. As far as credibility goes, we know exactly your knowledge base in the area of digital. In fact, you are hardly a subject matter expert.
