How about McIntosh taking over the OppO UDP-205 and UDP-203 players? A bit of cosmetics along with McIntosh customer support could make for a successful long term player.
Current mvp 901 is based on the previous generation Oppo. I was hopeful they would clone the 203 and add their own dac and power stage but not likely anymore. Matter of fact there is no UHD player to oem. I started a thread about this on another forum. It seems physical media is on its last leg. Denon, Marantz, Onkyo and Yamaha for the first time has no disc players in their line up. Pioneer has one. Theta in the past used Pioneer players as the base for their transports. Maybe Mcintosh can license this last gen UHD player. Mvp 931-951 were Panasonic based. Maybe they could use the current Panasonic UHD player.
