Stereo5, I went through a similar evolution of thought about buying a 205 over the past few months. I really wanted one because I love listening to music, especially on an excellent sound system. A 205 was about as close as I would likely get to audio nirvana on my budget. But as I agonized and waited over the past few months, I began to doubt that I really wanted the 205. It was my wife who, knowing me too well, encouraged me to be patient--and celebrated with me when the long awaited e-mail came from Oppo last week. I really don't think you'll regret purchasing a 205, Stereo5. Buy it and enjoy!
