Congrats! I put myself on their email notification three times & even exchanged emails with someone at Oppo in early August. They said they'd have more available at the end of August/early September. From what I've heard? That batch was completed, emails went out, and I STILL didn't win the OPPO lottery. |

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know how Oppo is prioritizing the notices. I was very early in getting my name on the list as soon as they announced it.
Does anyone know if they are doing another production run? |

I got a preproduction Pioneer UBP-LX500 And from a sound quality perspective, they have a winner on their hands.
The AKM4490 is just a much more organic sounding DAC. nice transients and detail. Downsides - no DAC inputs, no XLR outputs and I expect no Roon endpoint. I’ll see if I can see it as a DLNA. I only used it as a disc player the whole of the day so far.

It's going to be the audiophile version, I believe.

Streaming. That's why Oppo closed up shop!

I wrote them Aug 22 and they told me to pound sand in a nice way. I just wrote them again and asked if any more are available as I need one for my new Sony 900F 65 in 4K |

Streaming
I was enjoying Netflix, when at 8:30 PM my bandwidth took a dump.
I have ATT fastest service available for my location, which is the 50 Mbps. While reliable, it does get slowed down often. They are putting fiber optic in our neighborhood but slowly as the rock underneath is very difficult to dig thru. Just wonder if the future is streaming, but the service is subject to spurts and stoppages. There is not a single time that I am watching where it does not stop, interrupts or something happens. Very infuriating! |

Here's hoping you CAN get yours! Lots of people will pony up alternatives, but I don't know of anything now, or coming soon that has 4k video AND XLR/balanced stereo out. Honestly? My biggest issue is the balanced out. |
