    Ohhhh, they announced today.

    Sorry.

    Maybe they should've done a trade-up sales program if sales were dying.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Tesla is never going to make it according to the USA Today.

    Maybe the government should subsidize Oppo the same way the subsidize Tesla...

    Sad news indeed - I’ve been so happy with Oppo I haven’t even been keeping up with what other companies are doing. I always had great luck with Denon, prior to becoming an Oppo customer. I definitely need SACD and DVD Audio support...

    I wanted another Oppo, I guess it's a good thing I got a Cambridge SUX instead?

    That would be nice.

    A lot of people don't buy disc anymore. Everything has to stream. Me I like my audio and video quality. I have well over 1,000 DVD's and Blu-Ray, so I am keeping my spinners. Oh so I have to get up and change a disc, well bummer it will help stop the blood clot. People ask when they come over why am I still using disc? I'll toss on a Blu-Ray and then it's "when did you get a 4k TV?" A lot of things are getting too simple and easy at the suffering of quality.

    I like my Oppo BDP-93, good player and it's Cinavia free too ( backup everything I buy). I did pick up a Sony UDP-X800 over Christmas time for $150, it's a good player with great streaming but I like my Oppo's audio and picture better on my non 4k TV.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Such a bummer. Grew to have quite the affinity for the brand.

    On the flip side, I understand with the growing popularity of streaming.

    Couldn’t they grow other parts of the business? How are the headphones compared to competitors?

    I agree that the physical media is better. I think that applies to music playback as well but the convenience of having an entire library at my fingertips ready to go instantly is just too tempting to pass up.

    I am rather fond of my weird disc, HDCD, DVD-A, Blew Ray audio and some SACD. Not to mention all of my various format concert type disc. I will be PO'd if I outlast my universal players. Maybe I should get some spares? I sure like Mofi SACD's but I doubt I would buy more at this juncture.

    I'll agree with you for the most part. That part being that streaming sucks. It has it's place. Obviously it's not a replacement, but I wouldn't go as far as it flat out sucks.

    Hard to argue with that, lol.

    I'll only stream music files, video....I keep the physical media. I keep the cd's too, just store them away. I don't buy files over the internet like some do.

    I wish I could still find CDs anywhere, I’m stuck with my two least favorite Garth brooks albums and *shudder* meatloaf.
    I’m also stuck with a cheap Sony DVD player, by the time that I upgrade that will there’s even really be such thing as a DVD player? Even used?
    I agree that streaming is no good. If only I had another option.

    I like my UDP-800, but I was considering getting an upgrade and Oppo was at the top of the list... Should I wait till the last minute and get one with the latest firmware update or forget the idea all together?

    I could not agree more. First off, by owning the CD/DVD, I am free to loan it to whomever I want, and/or sell it, should I desire (the record companies/studios HATE this aspect of physical media). Second, no matter what happens to my electronic storage device(s), I still posses the means to enjoy my media - and I’m not just talking about me **** up my storage - think Photobucket, in terms of the music/ movie domain....”In order to provide you the best music/movie service possible, please subscribe to Apple Archive, for only $400 per year, to continue enjoying your iTunes library” (fictitious I know, but tell me you couldn’t see it happening...)

    Remember the old DIVX players, that required you to keep them plugged into a telephone line so that they could phone home occasionally?

    Yeah, hated that idea, so I found one that was stand alone. It didn't last long, the transport gave up on it. The want/need for such a player lasted about the same, so I called it a wash. My PC took care of anything in that realm from then on.
