Oppo makes a great product but the thing that set them apart for me was their ability to play SACD disks. The number of players that can play this format have been dwindling and Oppo's demise is just a sign of the times. I wonder if physical media for very high resolution audio (and video?) would be as far removed a memory as sony beta or if the vinyl sales trends would imply a reversal of fates down the road, vindicating the high resolution video and audiophile crowd.
