I have an Oppo 203, which I bought when this model was first released. I use it exclusively — as a transport — to play multi-channel SACDs and movies (4K and Blu-ray). For both audio and video, it does a superb job. Moreover, its flexibility in customized settings is unmatched. I urge you to keep and use it — for today and the future.
Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203?
I bought and intended to unbox a UDP-203 in the summer of 2017 and then Hurricane Harvey happened. We have been treading water since then, but are about to move back into a permanent (larger) residence, where I will be able to again set up a AV area. But, we never really had a DVD/BR collection, the world has changed, and I don't really see us again using a player for physical video discs. On the other hand, I have a nice CD collection and foresee upgraded streaming audio in the future. Initially, listening (and theater) will be via a Cambridge Audio CRX120, but I am open to adding an integrated amp and DAC/streaming device for 2 channel audio. I should probably add that I am old, getting lazy, and the hearing isn't what it used to be - I can foresee eventually moving on from CDs and just streaming (especially if Spotify would ever get their high-res act together).
So, what to do? Should I unbox the new Oppo and use it for CDs, or better to sell it for its current inflated value, and use the money for a CD player and/or streaming device? If the latter, equipment suggestions are appreciated. TIA.
