Humm, well Oppo is know for expensive, well marketed stuff.
I'm not going to come down on them as I really don't have the evidence but we have seen and heard this all before.
The proof is always in the pudding, and in just the limited exposure of this thread I have read about both badly measuring and broken examples.
So maybe they're not really all they've been cracked up to be. Amir, how about opening your unit up and taking a look at the quality of components, construction, etc. After all, it is just another Chinese man'd product.

That, has already been done: https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/inside-of-a-premium-blu-ray-player.55/
Clearly, without the 'truth' modifications, you can't possibly experience what the Oppo is really capable of...

They sure put some thoughts in the higher end models...105 and 205 to please analog audiophiles. The reviews are all stellar and the measurements are a great accompaniment. They are the most universal as universal they can be.
They play a multitude of video and audio discs well, they are build like tanks
(105 and 205), and they have enough features and connections and support to please a vast field of audio/video aficionados. They offer great value compared to the ultra high End audio only products that cost twice or more.
And for less they got that covered too, with the 103 and 203.
Not too shabby those Oppo players. And the expert engineers they love to modify those Oppos to suck even more performance out of them.
I don't think I've ever read a bad review about any Oppo players from the last x number of years. They consistently improved them, upgrade them, keep them running with our times.
Oppo is the real shit, meaning solid players for the consumers with a taste in movies and music. The pros use Oppos.

I had been using a 105 for a few years as a DVD Bluray player and using the analogue outputs for surround sound with films, front channels to my main speakers and rears to a pair of old Meridian M33 active speakers. It has been fine except skipping quite often on imperfect DVDs.
When I changed my unreliable Epson projector for a 4K Sony the dealer threw in a Sony 4K video player. To try it with surround sound, which it doesn't have internally, I connect it via HDMI to the Oppo. A bit clumsy but now the Oppo is only being used as a decoder. I can't say I am particularly critical when it comes to the sound with films though, it seems to work fine. I can use it for SACD music surround too but don't often, I don't have a convenient place to put a centre speaker.
