Physical discs are dying and that is one of many reasons Oppo is going to stop selling players (but will support their existing base). "Oh the times they are a changin' "
Since I now subscribe to Tidal, I no longer purchase any kind of physical discs for music, nor do I pay for downloads. All of my existing collection is on a server. And if some great technology is created to end up with great (but compressed) audio for movies, the physical BR's and $K movies will disappear as well. BUT, even I, who doesn't have the best hearing in the galaxy, can hear the difference between a physical BluRay and streamed content of the same movie. Not even close!!
