All Quiet on the Oppo front?


Many Oppo fans were talking about getting their pre-ordered UDP-205's a month ago, but no new posts as to current status. I haven't heard a word. I kinda thought there would be a July release, but apparently not.

Anybody receive any news from Oppo in the past month?

I agree Bultaco. (Motorcycle reference?).  It’s hard to believe they wouldn’t have made a run/runs to fill all orders. I’m sure many, myself included, would pay in advance.. I registered and confirmed months ago and thought this was a sure thing. However I haven’t heard anything lately and have read posts indicating production is over. ?? 
I don’t think Oppo “manufactured” their parts “ in house”. Not one other manufacturer does as it is simply impractical/inefficient.
Interesting that 1 poster here has such timely informative responses from Oppo while I and obviously countless other hear nada??
I wonder what parts will be unavailable for inevitable repair requests?
The story has gotten “curiouser” ...
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!
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. 
Just got my email. Paid up. It’s on its way! Yahoo! Will pick up a big-about 80” (I’m only 15 ft from screen) good 4K screen around Dec/Jan. Love good movies. Very interested to hear the CD,SACD,DVD Audio Sound as well. Hoping it lives up to hype but very satisfied getting such a useful unit regardless. Feeling lucky :) Good luck to others waiting)(
My invite was last Thursday. 
Bultaco was a great bike when I was dirt trail riding in late 60’s and 70’s. I also had Norton,Honda,Yamaha. Considering buying a trail bike again. Lots of trails, back roads and logging roads in southern BC.
