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. .

I own the 205 and use it several times a week watching 4K movies through a 4K firestick. The video is outstanding!

However, for Cd I use the PS Direct Stream player/transport to my PS DS Dac.

The 205 is great for movies but the PS unit is outstanding for Cd’s.
For an all purpose one piece component it is pretty good. Maybe not $3500 good but more than the original price of $1200.

That’s probably why Oppo dropped the line, not enough profit per unit.
