Why So Blu?

And it still has to be modded to be region free for BD/DVDs.

That's probably how they get around any legal problems, but it's nice that they at least make it so easy. UHD discs don't have region coding at all, but I still wouldn't make anything region-locked my main player.

So it looks like the audiophile 205 version is out, and is getting very good reviews so far.

It's also already available, with region free hardware mod, from the place I got my 103 from- and it's $100 cheaper than what they were charging for the 105.

I was thinking about maybe getting one near the end of the year, if my gigs go well- but I'd also like to let this be out in the field for a good bit and thoroughly debugged first.

The recent Oppo players can be modded quick and easy using a kit found on Ebay.

Problem I found with this player is that for PAL material, if you have the output set to Auto (either regular Auto which is the default, or UHD Auto which I have it set for so it will always output at UHD resolution) it will convert to NTSC with a jerky frame rate. Manually setting it to 50hz will output it properly, but you then have to set it back to Auto to avoid having the opposite effect on everything else. This could've been avoided with a simply NTSC/PAL/Multisync setting that the 93 has; I contacted Oppo about this and they said they're "looking into" adding that.
