I see some posts here that suggest that many on this thread have NO IDEA how special this player is. “Not worth the $1500? Really? Why then are there USED units for as much as $3464 for sale now? Many companies are building good, inexpensive players that processes video well, but NO player under $5,000 delivers such AWESOME audio.
Also, as for your minimal (2-3 movies a year), that’s a different matter. That’s essentially a unit that is not getting used, so if that’s the case why not sell it in pocket $3500? But I would only say to you and everyone on this thread that for those of us streaming today, there’s absolutely no comparison in terms of audio - comparing streaming to a great Blu-ray player like this OPPO. Night and day. Streaming good, sure. Convenient for sure. But audio is a 7/10 and OPPO is 10/10.
