Oppo site updated...

 

[Carlo_M]

Hype train has left the station and I'm on board! Choo-choo!

 

[dpippel]

That announcement has been live on Oppo's website for a while now. Here's some eye candy...

 

[Dave Upton]

I can't say much other than this:

I have a beta unit. It's fantastic. Worth the wait.

 

[dpippel]

I hope they make their projected release date!

 

[Carlo_M]

@Dave Upton I know you likely can't say much due to an NDA but if the Oppo has even the basic things that the Samsung was missing (being able to step one frame forward, one frame back, relatively smoother FF/REW scan, A/B repeat) then it's already worth it. I really dislike the missing basic functions on my Samsung which are present even in $49 Wal-mart/Target BD players.

UHD, Blu-ray, 3D, DVD, DVD-Audio, SACD and CD

Price:$549 (Pre-orders to begin shortly)

ULTRA HD RESOLUTION AND HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE

• 4K Ultra HD Video
  The UDP-203 supports the playback of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs. Packing a resolution of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels, UHD Blu-ray delivers four times the pixels of Full HD Blu-ray. The UDP-203 is also capable of playing 4K media files and user generated content. Support for decoding the HEVC, H.264, VP9 4K, and Hi10P video codecs provides increased compatibility with user generated media.

• High Dynamic Range
  The UDP-203 supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut. The enhanced resolution, refined contrast, greater brightness, and expanded color produce stunning video with unparalleled clarity and detail. In addition to supporting the HDR10 format on discs and video files, it is also capable of providing an accurate conversion of HDR to SDR for older displays, as well as conversion between various color spaces such as BT.2020, BT.709, and BT.601.

• Dolby Vision Upgradeable
  Leveraging hardware designed to support Dolby Vision, customers can expect a firmware update in early 2017 that brings Dolby Vision support to the player. Dolby Vision transforms the TV viewing experience by delivering striking highlights, brilliant colors, and deep darks never before seen on standard television screens, and OPPO is committed to bringing this exciting technology to the UDP-203.

EXPERTISE AND QUALITY

• Reference Quality Video
  The UDP-203 combines the latest technology with OPPO's many years of experience in delivering high quality video and audio. A customized quad-core video decoder/processor integrates OPPO's advanced video decoding, processing and optimization expertise.

• High Precision Disc Loader
  A high-precision, well-balanced laser optical disc loader ensures smooth and reliable playback of all types of disc media. An optimized laser mechanism to ensure super fast disc loading, strong error detection and correction.

• Exceptional Build Quality
  The UDP-203 features a brushed aluminum front panel, a rigid steel chassis and gold plated connectors. The solid build quality not only presents a sleek aesthetic, but also ensures dependable operation and reliable connection.

UNIVERSAL DISC AND FILE PLAYBACK

• Multiple Disc Formats
  The design of the UDP-203 focuses on quality playback and universal compatibility with multiple disc and file formats. In addition to the latest UHD Blu-ray, the UDP-203 supports regular Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD, DVD-Audio, SACD, and audio CD.

• Media File Playback
  The UDP-203 is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports on the back and another USB port on the front. Users can play video, music and photos from USB hard drives or thumb drives.

• Home Network Access
  Built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet connects the UDP-203 to users’ home networks, so users can easily play media files stored on computers and home servers.

HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO

• Lossless Audio Decoding
  The UDP-203’s video performance and universal compatibility is further complemented by its support of lossless high resolution audio. The player decodes audio file formats such as AIFF, WAV, ALAC, APE and FLAC. It also directly plays Direct-Stream Digital audio files in stereo DSD64/128 or multi-channel DSD64.

• Advanced Audio Formats
  With internal decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and bitstream output for object-based immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the UDP-203 delivers great sound for both movie soundtracks and music.

• High Performance DAC
  The UDP-203 offers 7.1-channel audio outputs for connecting to a 7.1-channel or 5.1-channel surround sound system. The 7.1-ch outputs feature "Velvet Sound" 32-bit premium digital-to-analog converters from AKM of Japan, delivering an incredible sound stage and an immersive surround experience.

VERSATILE CONNECTIVITY

• Dual HDMI Outputs
  The player features two HDMI outputs – an HDMI 2.0 port for connecting to the latest UHD TVs, projectors and A/V receivers, and an HDMI 1.4 audio port for connecting to older A/V receivers. Customers with newer 4K- and HDR-capable A/V receivers can use a full HDMI 2.0 signal path, while customers with older A/V receivers can have a split A/V setup.

• HDMI 2.0 Input
  An HDMI 2.0 input port that supports UHD resolution is available for users to connect an external streaming device. This approach affords users the flexibility to choose from a wide range of streaming devices and easily upgrade as streaming technologies evolve, while still taking advantage of the UDP-203's audio and video processing capabilities.

• Easy Integration
  Integration-friendly features such as RS-232 control, back panel IR sensor and third-party IP control make the UDP-203 a great choice for any home theater system. Coaxial and optical digital audio outputs provides backward compatibility with legacy audio components.

Another reason I need a better job so I can buy the new Oppo player and a new Marantz surround receiver.

 

[Carlo_M]

I missed the first pre-order window because 1) I was at work, and 2) I didn't know if the 203 would have Dolby Vision support. Now that I know the answer to #2 is yes, I will definitely order this when preorders go back up. Can't wait to decommission my Sammy.

 

[Dave Moritz]

When my finances improve and I can go from part time to full time employment I plan on getting a new Oppo 4K Blu-ray player and a new Marantz Atmos receiver.

The Oppo 203 is back up for preorder.

Can not wait to hear feedback on the Oppo

 

[DavidMiller]

Several of my 4K friends on Facebook has gotten them. They have all given it high marks.

If you want information on the Oppo, there are already thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of posts about the player over at AVS Forum.

I don't have a 4K/UHD display so I"m gradually upgrading my HT system with the Oppo 203 player being the first piece of equipment.
