Everything that has been said here on the OPPO situation is on the mark. One additional comment. OPPO as with many companies actually assembles their equipment in China. Consider the tariffs
that have been imposed recently and how they add to the cost of production. The uncertainty of our world economic situation would give any company pause in planning their future. Note that OPPO stayed in the Chinese market.
Frankly OPPO could have charged more for their products and still sold them in the USA. However the failure of UHD (No discs) makes selling players difficult to non audiophiles. If the CD goes the route of vinyl ( it appears to be doing that) then shifting the focus of
OPPO players to the audiophile market would be the right move.
Which is exactly what they have been doing for the last several years.
I agree with the members who said that just too many factors made it difficult for OPPO to make money. A real shame when we lose innovative USA company of this caliber.
