You can either go for Pioneer
UDP-LX500 or wait for the
UDP-LX800. Paying anything over $1500 for a $1299 player is not worth it. I have the Oppo UDP205 and am plenty happy with it.
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. .
