Praise for excellent service from Oppodigital

Contrast the above story with my experience with McIntosh. I purchased a demo MVP-871 (CD/DVD) from Magnolia A/V. McIntosh refused to warranty it. It failed almost immediately but Magnolia allowed me to trade in my P.O.S MVP-871 for a new Oppo 105D. Lucky me. Thanks Magnolia!

I lost the remote to my Oppo BDP-93 in my move to Fla. I informed Oppo of this, offering to pay for it, and they sent me a brand new remote free of charge, incl. shipping. Oppo's customer service is the best I've ever encountered and I will only buy Oppo players...

Did McIntosh not honour the warranty because you got it from Best Buy? Its hard to imagine they would refuse service on something that should be covered.

ZD542,

No need to imagine. It happened! I still have a Mac MX-120 pre and an MC275 Mk6. However, my enthusiasm for Mcintosh products has diminished. You needn't defend McIntosh to me, I still have faith in their pre/power products. Reliability of their digital products is a question mark. I am certain that my experience is not unique. If you doubt it, start a thread to find out.

I will also add that Oppo has exemplary customer service. My 105 was acting up a bit after 1.5 yrs so they paid for shipping (it's a 2 yr warranty) BOTH ways but while they did the full updates there was still one 'hard to repeat at the shop' issue that was still intermittent when I received it back. Again they paid for all shipping (including return of mine to them again)and sent me a brand new machine; all the while being very patient and helpful via telephone and e-mails. I could not ask for ANY better service. Highly recommended.
