Question about new Oppo 4K player

Hey guys!

My first post here, been reading for a long time but wanted to wait until I upgraded my system to jump in! I recently got an Xbox S to use as a 4K player - I needed a new one, and my Sony 930d does HDR, so I figured why not?

I have always been curious about Oppo Blu Ray players, I have read nothing but amazing things about them. My question: WHY is the new 4K player only $500, as opposed to the 103 and 105(d)? My buddies at Magnolia always rave about the sound quality and video processing from the Oppo....so, will the 4K player possibly lose some of the audio power? I can't figure out why it would be so cheap - I figure maybe the darbee chip won't be necessary since its running 4K?

Hope this question makes sense! Thanks

Ethos, question - what streaming apps come with the -203 player ?  I use my 105D to stream a number of sources, including Netflix, Berliner Philharmoniker, etc.. (I have to use a Roku 3600 stick to stream Amazon, Hulu, etc.. )

I was told that Oppo was dropping a lot of streaming apps and letting users install streaming sticks to save on cost.  I really like the Berliner Philharmoniker concert channel, so I am hoping it's still on the new player.
