Why is Oppo stopping products.
Jeffrey,Yes, if ISP’s start throttling/blocking competitors the whole streaming thing could go belly up. Then we would have a few years of market disruption before a new way of listening/purchasing music/movies would evolve. Even radio would be ef... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Basement,Do you understand how much it cost to do a production run?  They have to order hundreds if not thousand(s) of the units from their supply.  Up until they made the announcement of their closing, they were not selling everything they made. ... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
I'm going to disagree with the "Phone company whats to make a huge profit, so people buy them" mentality and say it's because people want convenience.  Consuming music on a phone is incredible easy whether it be through iTunes of Google Play.  BTW... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
The only other company making a "high end" 4K player is Cambridge Audio.  Nobody else, except us here, are buying Disc anymore.  Best Buy has announced that they are no longer going to sell CD's anymore and are reducing the shelf space for DVD\Blu... 
LG V30 - Impressions?
I have a V20+ SK Edition, and my wife has the V30.  I use mine with Campfire Audio, Periodic Audio and JH Audio IEM's.  Does a decent job, but if you're looking for a little extra, you could always add an Headphone amp such as the Periodic Nickel.... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
I moved from a Panasonic Plasma (last production model) to an LG OLED.  Let me assure you, you will notice a difference.  I thought the Blacks on the Plasma were good.  The blacks on the OLED are so inky good, they put a LED on it to let you know ... 
Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands
I took a close look at the Audio Zoom Zoom website and a few things struck me as odd.  None of the items, that you can see the background, appear to photographed in the same location.  An audio showroom would have "vignettes" and you would see the...

Hey, the ML clone only measures 12" x 6" x 13"!   
Oppo Ceasing production
Just checked Oppo Website and there’s now a link to register for a potential 205 production run. 
Oppo Ceasing production
I was all hyped up when the 203/205 were first announced.  Then I found out that they dropped the Apps.  I was using my 103 to stream some hi-res of the internet.  After a few months, I finally decided to upgrade.  So, sold my 103 here and pickup ... 
Oppo Ceasing production
" There has to be more here than meets the eye. How can a company that has been in business for some time suddenly not have the resources to continue to manufacture products that presumably they are making money on. This seems especially hard to ... 
Oppo Ceasing production
I called Oppo yesterday afternoon.  They said that they have enough money in the bank to either develop new product or provide support/warranty on existing products for the next few years; they can't do both.  Do to slower sales and higher cost of... 
Falling out of love for my Gallo Strada 2’s (long)
Strada 2's have less bass than Strada 1's.  Gallo made the 2's more efficient but they had to sacrifice some bass; lows of physics and speaker design.  The negative 3 point on the 2's are 68, so crossover should be set around 70-80.  Having spoken... 
Sonos "Connect" or Paradigm "PW Amp" or ?????
Sonos app, while being more complex, has more services and options including shuffle play.  Paradigm sounds better, but not as many streaming services and no shuffle option for entire music library.  It does allow you to shuffle songs per album.
