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. .

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.

NO

Is Modwright OPPO worth the outlandish inflated price?

HELL NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


My 85% deaf mother-in-law could tell the difference between the top of the line Modwright Oppo against an mid-level PrimaLuna in my room. She said: "Look at how your friend’s eyes lighted up the 2nd time (when the PrimaLuna was playing)". Now that’s OBJECTIVE review you should believe.
