Wow! I hope everything is okay with Oppo. I'm looking forward to their new Sonica DAC. I wonder why they are no longer selling anything?
actually i agree with barach, the new model is coming in december but i think someone bought their remaining 105s and 103s and is trying to capitalize on that fact.
i am waiting for the new model and even if it is a bit higher than the 1200 they were asking for the 105, i will be damned (probably will anyway) if i will help the other schmuck profit!

That's rather interesting if someone bought all the remaining stock with the intention of raising the price. I guess I don't see the logic since any intelligent person will want the new model or else they will want a discount on the discontinued old model. Who in their right mind would pay extra for a discontinued model that is being replaced by an upgraded model. If, on the other hand, the old model is not being replaced, then Oppo will soon have additional stock at the regular price for anyone who still wants the older model. It seems to me that whoever bought a bunch of the older model with the intention of raising the price might have made the WRONG decision. What do you think?
Anyway, my concern is for the new Oppo Sonica DAC. It is supposed to be priced at $799 according to the following YouTube clip from RMAF. It sounds like a very versatile component that combines a DAC/preamp and a streamer with the ability to connect a USB drive directly. I hope it comes out on schedule at the advertised price because I'm ready to buy one. ;-)
agreed- anything over $1K is too much for an Oppo.
They aren't selling any universal players because they ran out of stock on the current models (103, 105) and are about to introduce a new 4K player. AFAIK there is nothing wrong at Oppo. They still have their other products on sale.
