Oppo, la fin?

Quelqu'un sait si c'est vrai ou un poisson d'avril en retard de mauvais goût ?
Apparemment ils vont arrêter la production des produits Hi-Fi dans le monde et se cantonneront aux téléphones.

Oppo qui cesserait toute activité audio/son

Oust les casques, ampli casques, et surtout platines....

1er Avril en décalage pour faire genre, ou faut vite aller s'équiper peut être ?

@asustek et Ténèb : c'est repris par tous les médias du secteur, ce matin https://www.lesnumeriques.com/lecteur-b ... 9.amp.html

Oppo se reconcentre sur les smartphones et attaque le marché européen apparemment. Ils sont 4eme sur le marché mondial derrière Samsung, Apple et Huawei..

Sur les nums ils ne parlent que des platines, du coup ils garderaient tout de même le reste de l'electronique ?

Ah ben tiens il était pas là le message au dessus quand j'ai posté le lien

[zephyr58]

lu à l'instant sur un forum voisin, reprenant les deux liens suivants, donc ce n'est pas à priori un poisson d'avril. Toute l'activité "digitale semble concernée : DACs, casques, ...

Ca a été posté dans 3 topics différents, un peu partout sur le forum... Je regroupe tout ici.

Salut oppo vendait du reve avec leurs fameuse platines...if faut reconnaitre qu elles coutaient un bras surtout la 203///
Etrangement c etait facile de s en procurer d okaz sur certains sites a des prix interressant parfois...
C etait aussi il faut le dire une mode posséder une oppo c était un peu comme posséder une ferrari///
ENfin...cest la vie rien ne dure la loi du marché sans doute...

Je pense que le message d'Oppo est légèrement ambigu. Ils arrêtent progressivement la fabrication et ne fournissent plus qu'un support. De ce côté là, soit.

Maintenant il est toujours possible qu'ils sous-traitent la fabrication avec un partenaire. Oppo ne ferait plus que du design de produit. Ensuite, c'est Oppo Digital qui s'arrête, peut-être qu'a terme la division Oppo Digital sera supprimé et qu'une nouvelle division émergera.

Dans tout les cas, tout cela me fait penser aux problèmes avec les Etats-Unis concernant les entreprises Chinoise. Il est possible que la politique des Etats-Unis ne convienne plus à Oppo.

Dans tout les cas, je pense qu'il est encore un peu tôt pour dire que Oppo Digital va disparaître corps et âme. Je pense plutôt qu'ils vont se restructurer sous une autre forme et peut être une autre dénomination. Le marché émergeant du casque est trop important que pour être abandonné. Surtout après le succès du PM3.

Concernant les platines Blu-ray, je pense qu'ils souffrent de leur positionnement trop premium.

Moi qui attends depuis longtemps un Oppo PM-X version fermé du PM-2...

Je pense que le message d'Oppo est légèrement ambigu.

Oui, enfin, le titre du communiqué c’est « Farewell » = Adieu. Niveau ambiguïté on a moins parlant tout de même...

Farewell

It has been 14 years since we established OPPO Digital in the United States, and with the support of our customers, technical partners, and movie/music studios, we produced many award-winning Hi-Fi audio products and universal disc players, spanning three generations from DVD, Blu-ray, to 4K UHD.

As our latest 4K UHD players reach the pinnacle of their performance, it is time to say goodbye. We are proud to have made such well-regarded products and to have served the enthusiast community. Without our customers' suggestions, encouragement, and support, we could not have accomplished these achievements.

Though OPPO Digital will gradually stop manufacturing new products, existing products will continue to be supported, warranties will still be valid, and both in-warranty and out-of-warranty repair services will continue to be available. Firmware will continue to be maintained and updates released from time to time. Customers can rest assured that they will continue to receive the high quality service and support that they have come to expect from OPPO Digital.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity to have developed such exciting products for our customers. It has been an honor.

Best regards,

All of us at OPPO Digital

Je suppose que les derniers PM3 vont s'arracher comme des petits pains!

Pour moi, c’est très clair : rideau !!

Je me suis mal exprimé. Oui pour Oppo Digital tel qu'on le connait, c'est fini. Mais ça n'exclue que quelque chose d'autre vienne "remplacer" Oppo Digital. Ce que je veux dire c'est que malgré la fermeture d'Oppo Digital, ça n'exclue pas de voir quand même arriver des casques ou autres appareils estampillé Oppo.

[DrizztDo]

Dommage, j'utilise régulièrement la platine 103 et le ha 1 et ça marche quand meme très fort.

[lebellium]

Mon Oppo 203 est probablement mon meilleur achat de matériel toutes périodes et tous domaines confondus. Je l'adore

UPDATE: I emailed Oppo with some questions about this announcement; here are the responses I received.

Q: Why is Oppo terminating its product manufacturing?

A: The revenue from sales cannot offset the cost of developing players and maintaining a production facility.

Q: The announcement says Oppo will “gradually” stop making products. How gradually?

A: We are in the process of manufacturing our last batch of products. If there is no change to delay or speed up the production, we expect the last product to come out of the factory in June.

Q: When production stops, will you continue to sell products in your inventory? How long do you anticipate that might last?

A: Yes, we will continue to sell products in our inventory. It is hard to predict how long that might last; based on the previous rate, it may last 2-3 months. However, demand may slow down given the announcement, or perhaps people will want to get products while they can and the inventory will be sold out quickly.

Q: What will happen to the company in the long term? Will it change its focus in some way, or will it stay open long enough to support its products for some period of time? Are we talking months or years?

A: The company will transition from product development to product support. We are committed to supporting the products for as long as we can. For those who just purchased one of our products or will purchase them, we will honor the 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, so we are talking about years rather than months. This is also why we made the announcement now, so customers can make an informed decision regarding future purchases, and we can plan to have the proper resources to support the customers and products.

Q: Regarding the UDP-203 and 205 UHD Blu-ray players, have you released a firmware update that addresses the Sony implementation of Dolby Vision in its TVs? If you haven’t issued that update, do you expect to? If so, when?

A: We have firmware that supports Sony’s implementation of Dolby Vision in its TVs. The firmware is undergoing testing by Dolby right now. We hope to make it available to customers as soon as the test concludes that there is no problem with existing Dolby Vison-capable TVs as well as Sony TVs.
