Established in 2004 in Menlo Park, California, it conducted all of its sales online.[4][5] OPPO Digital offered audio and video equipment, including Blu-ray Disc players and personal audio products such as headphones.[6]
In April 2018, OPPO Digital announced they were stopping production and development of new products but would continue to support existing customers.[7]
Products
In 2007 and 2008, OPPO introduced the DV-980H and DV-983H, DVD-to-1080p upconversion, multi-format players.[8][9]
In 2009, OPPO introduced a "universal" Blu-ray player, BDP-83, compatible with DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD formats.[5] The unit included a video decoder from MediaTek and a video processing chip from Anchor Bay Technologies.[5]
In 2018, OPPO discontinued production of all Blu-ray players.[6][10]
Recognition
Lexicon BD-30/THX certification controversy
In 2010, an Audioholics.com review revealed that the chassis and internal components of Lexicon's BD-30 Blu-ray player (retail price $3500) was identical to that of the Oppo BDP-83 (retail price $500); audiovisual testing indicated no changes were made in performance either.[13][14] Furthermore, it appears that this player was given THX certification (the first Blu-ray player with this distinction), despite failing fundamental THX tests. Currently, evidence of its certification has largely disappeared from the THX website after this was revealed.[13]
