The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question

Hi.  Not sure if anyone already answered this but I read a Nov (inside) review of this new model to be launched in Dec/Jan and it was mentioned that it's not going to include on-line streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube.  Can anyone absolutely confirm this?  That would be a deal killer for me.  What about the coming UDP-205?  Will that be launched with these streaming apps?

@mtrot That's good to know, I haven't seen any, but I wasn't looking, assuming there were none in existence. :)

Inner detail will disappear from the next $500 model and you will need the ID module to get it.

They are also going to drop Musicality but will have a firmware upgrade for that.

Hilarious, but the fact remains that I can buy a $50 blu-ray player on Amazon with built in streaming services, but Oppo is now telling me I can't have it in a $500 player.  Give me one good reason. The press release says "purity". So are the current 103 and 105 not pure?  I'll be curious to see if the higher priced model has streaming.

Folks, I understand where everyone is coming from on lack of streaming services in the latest 4K Oppo player.  

I have just just received my new UHD-203 player and it is simply outstanding in both audio/video, the new DAC chip is ultra smooth and very dynamic.  

All the 4K content is now streamed through my new 75" Sony 4K TV :-)

maybe purity relates to some sort of interference (tho why they cannot shield it I dunno)

otherwise they are going to sell you a more spendy player with streaming
