The UDP-203 is available for pre-order today (in US) with a release date of December 12 for $549.  The Oppo site indicates a UDP-205 will be available in early 2017.  

Is anyone considering the UDP-203?  I'm tempted as it has all the important bases covered with HDR, 4:4:4, Dolby Vision support coming in early 2017, etc.  However it does not have built-in Netflix, Amazon, etc.  Oppo states they're going for a 'purist approach to disc and file playback'.  It is possible to connect via HDMI 2.0 a 4k-capable streaming device to the UDP-203 but the Oppo player does not support HDR via the HDMI in that a connected streaming device would utilize.

Count me as one. Unfortunately the release is currently only for North America.

We have an Oppo 103 and it runs hrs every day for our daughter and haven't missed a beat.

Might wait for the 205 and hook up all my B&O speakers to it bypassing the need for a prepro.

On one negative I'm not sure if it support the Dolby Atmos - was looking forward to rigging an Atmos setup

Amos supported per specs on Oppo site for the UHD-203:

  • 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.

I might get it. Have the BDP 103D at the moment. Have to experience it in real life first.

Do the Oppo's have volume Control so that I can directly connect my Beolabs to them?

My BDP103 does, plus 5.1 outputs so I doubt the new one will not be the same. It also has a video in so you can run the output of a cable box or other source so you can use the video engine in the Oppo to clean up and adjust as needed.
