According to a conversation I had with a representative of OPPO, they are sutting down because of rising prices from parts suppliers, causing an unacceptable increase in the cost of production. Of course, my argument is to raise the price of OPPO products to reflect the added costs. The OPPO 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc/CD multi-channel SA-CD/DVD-Audio player is such a valued and esteemed component of the high-end home theatre and music sector, that its closing will be a sad affair and leave a void in performance. I was looking forward to the implementation of the Darbee Vision 4k Ultra HD circuitry in new OPPO players, which now will have to find a new home. I implore home theatre and music enthusiasts, custom home theatre designers, integrators, installers and associated manufacturers of complementary products and formats to urge OPPO to raise their prices to continue producing such reference quality performance players. –– Gary Reber, Editor-In Chief, Widescreen Review & Custom Home Theatre Design
The Faraewell From OPPO:
It has been 14 years since we established OPPO Digital in the United States, and with the support of our customers, technical partners, and movie/music studios, we produced many award-winning Hi-Fi audio products and universal disc players, spanning three generations from DVD, Blu-ray, to 4K UHD.
As our latest 4K UHD players reach the pinnacle of their performance, it is time to say goodbye. We are proud to have made such well-regarded products and to have served the enthusiast community. Without our customers' suggestions, encouragement, and support, we could not have accomplished these achievements.

Firmware will continue to be maintained and updates released from time to time. Customers can rest assured that they will continue to receive the high quality service and support that they have come to expect from OPPO Digital.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to have developed such exciting products for our customers. It has been an honor.
