New beta firmware for the UDP-203 & UDP-205. Link and release notes, below, are copied from the Oppo website. I'm quite happy to see that Oppo has added support for HDR10+ and added Dolby Vision pass-through for the HDMI input. www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-203/UDP203-firmware-64-1221B.aspxRelease Notes: Comparing to the current Official release version UDP20X-60-0625, the major changes included in this version are: 1. Added the HDR10+ support. A HDR10+ enabled TV is required to view content in HDR10+. 2. Added the "HDMI IN BYPASS" mode for Dolby Vision passthrough via HDMI In. 3. General fixes and disc compatibility improvements based on recent and upcoming UHD Blu-ray releases as well as user-submitted samples. |

Is there any firm info or even rumors they will be making another "batch" for people who signed up? Just curious.
The new Panny has features this doesn't, but I'd bet it doesn't sound as good and if memory serves doesn't do SACD.

From what I understand, there will be no more production of either the 203 or 205, but I'm no Oppo insider so you just never know. Besides the on-board apps(personally I prefer an outboard media streamer) and the tone-mapping(I don't have a projector so I don't care) what does the Panasonic do that the Oppo's don't? Besides at this point, only one place to buy the DMP-UB9000 here in the US, and you have to get on their list for when they do have any available.

However the panny does not do sacd The 820 is a GREAT machine I read about this unit in Sound & Vision. It seems to do some important things that no player has yet done. And at $500 the price is right. I plan to keep my Denon in my rack for SACD, so this Panny is a great option for me. |

However the panny does not do sacd The 820 is a GREAT machine From my understanding while the Panasonics properly tone map BT2020 to BT709, this feature is for the most part for those that don't have 4K capable displays, thus of no concern for those with 4K panels or 4K projectors. While I know this affects many projector owners at this time, I don't see this being much of a weakness when the market phases out 1080p projectors in favor of 4K projectors. Is there any other advantage that tone mapping provides? I'm still on a bit of a learning curve on all this 4K stuff, thus I'm always looking to increase my knowledge on this subject. While the 820 is quite a machine for $500, the 9000 is going for $1000, and at this point I'd easily take an 820 at half the price especially since I'm not in need of the higher end DAC's that the 9000 has. |

So I could upgrade now to this 4K player, buy 4K HDR discs now so I don't have to re-buy them later, and still get some advantages of HDR on my old TV. At least its available. Not sure what I'm going to do, but its an option. |

While the 820 is quite a machine for $500, the 9000 is going for $1000. According to the S&V article, this is not always the case with 4K capable displays, and lots of people are having issues. If I read it correctly, it largerly has to do with each particular displays capabilities, and metadata issues (or lack there of) on the discs themselves. So just because you have a 4K display does not mean you are out of the woods so to speak. |
