Oppo UDP-203 and UDP-205 4K Ultra HD Audiophile Blu-ray Disc Player

For a very long time we all had to work really hard to be able to afford a disc player that could give us the best results at playing back our digital files, then we need to work even harder again to buy that fancy dvd player to play our moives….and then we had to work the weekends to be able to get a DAC which could play our digital files.

And if all that wasn’t enough of a effort we then ad to buy a rack to fit it all in and make sure it all worked seamlessly.

Remember this……

Fast forward some years and Oppo is a name that has really made its place know to the other high brands in the market. And in 2017 Oppo released two new models after a successful run with the BDP-103 and BDP-105D, and they have once again improved on what was already an excellent product for the money.
