Why is Oppo stopping products.
205 can be used as USB DAC if you hook computer. You should grab a 205 from their last run even if you have a 105.

A 203 for 4K video plus a 105 for audio and video streaming is good combination. A used 105 + a new 203 cost the same as a new 205.

Yes OPPO 105D is the ultimate music streamer, 2k Blueray player. I stream Tidal, Berlin Digital Concert Hall through it, using iPad as control. I wish Oppo 205 had these app build in. But I have still registered an Oppo 205 4K player.  
Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer?
ATV Gen 3 doesn't TIDAL APP. Gen has Tidal but without optical out. You would need a good DAC to sound better from ATV. 
CD players = dead?
Subscribe to Tidal $20/month. $1000 will last you for 5 years. CD player is dead unofficially.  
Is this MQA news a big deal?
Not a big fan of MQA. I prefer DSD128 and 192/24PCM. MQA is a lossey 192/24. 5G and Wifi bandwidth is more than enough to stream DSD and 192/24PCM.  
Oppo 205 for TV viewing?
Where can you  rent 4K blueray disc?  
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
I am waiting my June production OPPO 205. $1299 still is a lot money. 
Oppo 205 and external DAC?
205 DAC is very good and it has XLR line out. I even think the 105(D) is even better  since it has the Tidal streamer, Netflix, and Berlin philharmonic digital concert hall app build in except the 4K. 
Oppo 205 and external DAC?
I use my Oppo 95 balanced XLR connected to Sennheiser HDVA600 balanced. It is a super combination, super dynamic and balanced tone. Except the Oppo fan, the overall noise is very low.

Don't know how much my Oppo HA-1 worth now? It is basically a Sonica+Class A earphone amp. 
Oppo Ceasing production
Glad I bought an OPPO HA-1 DAC. Hard find one now. 
Just Got My Oppo 205!
205d doesn’t have tidal streamer app built in. I would think 105(D) is better overall except the 4K video. 
If not an Oppo 205 then what?
An OPPO 105(D) and  95D are also very good sonically. Get a used one.  
Ifi iDSD New firmware update now support MQA - Free upgrade
I have the iDSD nano le version. I listen to Tidal MQA through Byerdynamic 990T 250ohm from Lenovo 41T> Ifi iDSD MQA DAC> Byrrdynamic. Very low cost but very good listening experience.
