I own a 205 and I don't think it's that great. It's worth the $1200 I paid, but it's no giant-killer. At least not to me. But, it does basically everything and sounds pretty good doing it. But it does not sound like a 3k CD-only player. If you're just looking to play CDs, I would go with a dedicated player like the Naim CD5x or something like that.
Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video) but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .
