I wonder if PS Audio has already purchased all the transports they think they will ever need: Farewell It has been 14 years since we established OPPO Digital in the United States, and with the support of our customers, technical partners, and movie/music studios, we produced many award-winning Hi…

A surprising announcement. Given their reputation and popularity I would expect them to be profitable.

Thought it was an April Fool’s joke at first. Unfortunate, since Oppo makes decent stuff. That said, someone will fill the void with a suitable product.

Streaming and digital downloads is killing discs. I have two OPPO players and almost never use them.

Are you sure about that? It was reported in the media recently that CD + vinyl sales have turned the tide and now overtaken digital download sales.

This is a curious development. Why wouldn’t they seek a buyer? They are promising to support existing products, but what incentive to they have to do so?

More likely to be bought out by one of the “big boys” who also have production in the same country if at all.

They sell phones in Asia, not much in North America or Europe

So what will this mean for the DMP?
