One thing about the Oppo is future LASER replacement.
Question - does a laser go bad if unused? I have NOT used the laser in my Oppo UDP-205 since I have been using it as a DAC since July-2020. Since 2020 July, I use the laser only once a year for 2-3 minutes to check if the CD and the SACDs that I have can be read by the laser. Maybe I should start checking every 3 -4 months?
