For Sale:
This is the legendary Oppo UDP-205, widely considered the finest 4K Universal Disc Player ever produced. For the true cinephile/audiophile, this isn't just a Blu-Ray player—it’s a world-class DAC and transport. Whether you are spinning rare SACDs or streaming high-res files via USB, the dual ES9038PRO chips deliver a level of transparency and dynamic range (140dB) that few modern players can match. If you want the best possible fidelity in existence, this is it. What is more -- this is a true collector's item. Oppo no longer makes Blu-Ray players, and given their astounding fidelity of reproduction, they are heirloom products coveted by collectors and aficionados given their scarcity after their factory production ceased to exist and regularly fetch prices well above the original MSRP for this very reason.

Provenance:
This device came from an ultra high-end server rack that I inherited during the purchase of a high-rise penthouse condo in Baltimore's Inner Harbor; the previous owner was a very wealthy audiophile/cinephile. The entire condo's Crestron smart-home and audio-visual program was custom engineered, installed, and meticulously maintained by Gramophone Design+Build of Towson Maryland. Gramophone is one of the nation's premier luxury audio-visual integrators.

Special Note:
Due to the complexity of Gramophone's set-up, I contracted them to come out and remove A/V equipment components that I simply had no use for in day to day living. They surgically extracted the equipment as carefully as possible while preserving the functionality of the remaining smart-home and A-V setup. For this reason, the equipment for sale is the device straight off the rack with the rack-mount wings still attached. The equipment for sale does NOT include any wiring, power cords, or remote controls. Including these items would have required painstaking, tedious, and very expensive total disassembly and re-assembly of the enormous A/V server-rack. So consider this my polite disclaimer that you will need your own power cables, wires, and remote controls. My sincere apologies.

Shipping Note:
This is seriously heavy equipment that will likely require freight shipping with white glove delivery and painstaking packing to preserve the fragile components. You, as the buyer, will be responsible for shipping costs. Alternatively, I would be happy to coordinate local pick-up.

Cost:
$2,550 USD -- willing to negotiate within reason.

Looking forward to doing business with you.
