Yep - looks like we are moving toward a situation of ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ wrt services dependent on internet bandwidth.

I recently got an AppleTV - even on an ancient ADSL2+ connection which tops out at 12-14Mbps - I am getting 4K playback from Amazon Prime and Netflix and I have to say - they look spectacular.
With 4K and either HDR or Dolby Vision - the video quality is definitely better than any 1080p BluRay - and comes very very close to my UHD discs. Audio isn't as good - Apple is only delivering 5.1 for now but Atmos is on the cards. My TV apps (on my Sony ZD9 and LG C7) also stream the same Netflix/Amazon but on the same internet connection take a lot longer to reach UHD.

I haven't gone back to physical media in a while, with 4K streaming and quality getting better every day, if you can maintain a strong connection you're good.

The MVP-891 3D BluRay player uses the mechanical guts and firmware design of an Oppo 93 but a different DAC and output stage... The menus and user interface of the MVP-891 is pretty much identical to that on my Oppo 93....
BTW: I hooked the region-free USB adapter from my Oppo 93 to the MVP-891 and could watch out-of-region DVD's and BluRays on the MVP-891.... |

A limited supply of OPPO UDP-205's were offered via e-mail to those who had placed a reservation for one this past spring after the announcement from OPPO Digital, USA about their intention to exit from the US market. I have exercised my option to purchase one and it is due for arrival here on July 5. The units were offered 'one per customer' at $1299.00 + shipping. The latest communication states that the last units of the 205's are coming in three waves. If folks are interested, I shall report back once it arrives and is installed in my system.
I apologize in advance that this is not a McIntosh topic, but this is the topic thread for the recent status of OPPO Digital. Bob Last edited by Bob Bubeck; 07-01-2018 at 03:19 PM. |

Oppo just issued a new firmware for the Oppo 205 that makes the 205 a full-fledge MQA decoder! Now one can stream Tidal MQA files and have the Oppo 205 give you the full unfold.
A nice parting gift... |
