If not an Oppo 205 then what?

bummer no headphone amp on the Panasonic.  Was looking at Oppo 205 for that as the headphone amp on my receiver is not that great.

In several communications I had with Oppo since I got on the list in Feb, they never told me I would or wouldn't get a unit or that they were overbooked.   They simply said they would begin notifying people in the order they applied when the units started coming in the fall.



If what you say is correct, I forsee a healthy resale market of 205's at a big profit for quite some time.

Will be interesting to see if they had that many more people sign up than what they built for this production run.

I kind of suspect they made enough to cover the people who got on the waiting list, as they had plenty of time to order the components.

yep. 
For those that  signed up in May for the encore run, they are being contacted to pay for and get their 205s.  

Just did it today and mine is now shipping tomorrow for arrival on 9-14.
