Well to bad HDMI does not daisy chain like scsi huh I have a laptop in the rack still and also a PC server that can stream any service and over ethernet and or using HDMI input that and an upcoming 4k TV with all the apps fits the bill Ok for me..

Order ID: 307xxx Estimated Date: Week Ending April 28, 2017.

Details Name Unit Price Quantity Total 1
UDP205 OPPO UDP-205 4K Ultra HD Audiophile Blu-ray Disc Player US$ 1,299.00

US$ 1,299.00 Warranty: 2 Year Standard Warranty for UDP205 (Included in Price)
Rack Mount Kit: None Sub Total:US$ 1,299.00 Shipping: US$ 32.00
Grand Total:US$ 1,331.00

So mine will be here next week.. I will do a review for you guys pro Vs cons on the 95, I don't own a 105 or a 105D. Also will need to give it some time for sound to break in too etc. But all the current connection I have should be a snap.

Hi Dan. Oppo has officially announced that there is no plan for a Darbee version of the 203 nor the 205 models, since it seems the Darbee chip is not compatible with the UHD format.

I will wait for the reviews, and the first few firmware updates, just in case, before I decide if I should consider the 205. As the happy owner of 4 Oppo models (980H, 95, 103 and 105), I am not sure if I need this new unit. There is no UHD TV in my foreseeable future, so unless there is a dramatic improvement in the sound quality, I may pass.

I am also disappointed that, once again, they did not include a larger display that can show album artwork, file folder names, metadata, etc. Ideally, I do not want to rely on a tablet or app in order to navigate the contents of a hard drive.

Also of note: no HDCD support and, like with the 203, no apps (I will miss the former, but could not care less about the latter).

Esteban.......Thanks for the update. I was just thinking outloud about the possibility of future Oppo players. I am still using 1080p televisions and I'm still pleased with their performance.

Interesting...the Darbee circuitry was compatible with the UHD 4K output as of the 105D we have here since 2014.

Yes and no. It handles upscaljng to 4K.

But doubt if it can reprocess 4K to 4K.

Also in doubt is if the chipset will work with HDMI 2.0/HDCP2.2
