Oppo Gone - Now What?

If you didn’t order the 205 yesterday or today before noon. it’s too late. Sorry! Now if you still want one, you’ll have to pay more and much more just in a few more days. OPPO 205 is the only one on the market with 4K HDR, DAC with SABRE ES9038PRO, RCA and XLR analog outputs, multi channel SACDs, jitter reduction, headphone amplifier, and MQA support and is under $1,300. Why did OPPO Digital decide to close its business? I think we all know, but we’re not allowed to discuss about it.

Why are you not allowed to discuss? Let me in on the secret

I’m surprised that oppo had only a few 205’s on hand. I would think they had 100’s. Why not make more. I was going to order one and didn’t think they had so few to begin with. Maybe I’ll sell the one I have now for 6 months  for 10,000.00.

The PS Audio directstream transport will read your cd, put it to memory in bit perfect, and play from the memory. You can get a used one for your price range

Jrap
Cocktail Audio x35 looks a great option but the DAC chips at 9018 not 9038 pro which are present in oppo

9038 seem to be better DACs and are present in audiophile DAC's

Do you notice any difference.
