Related question: During the pandemic, Sound+Vision gave praise several times to a new company that seemed to be marketing Oppo-like players at a reasonable price. I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall comments about how it had purchased Oppo's intellectual property.
Unfortunately, the magazine abruptly stopped covering those players after 6 or 12 months. And now, I can't find those references online & don't remember the name of the company.
Does anybody have more information about the name of that company, or the model #s of the players -- or even whether they're still available?
