I have only two replies left… So you are basically saying that the Oppo thingy you decided to use in this 6,5k device is CRAP! Now that they don’t produce them anymore, they are obsolete anyway. Anyhow: as a engineer I would have made a thorough preselection to make sure each and every drive is up to optimum specs. Alternatively choose another drive mechanism. The poor programmer seems to have done his very best to work with what was a wrong decision in the hardware department and therefore he got fired later? I believe we have heard from the new programmer that he has problems with the Oppo OS as well and no matter how often you repeat how much better the new code allegedly works, still the same errors are reported by users. Almost two years after release, before that “8 years of research, 2 years of development”? There is simply no excuse for a device at this price point having only the slightest hint of a functional problem right from the start, period! Next question: did the people responsible for Qualty Control did get fired too? As it turns out to me, the DMP is nothing more then a half-finished laboratory experiment, but someone decided to release it nevertheless.
