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…

Thank you! Pretty cheap insurance.

Could someone confirm that this is in fact the correct transport mechanism for the DMP. [image] US $9.54 17% OFF|Brand New PS3 KES 480A KES480A KEM480AAA KEM 480AAA Blu ray... Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
