I think that misses the point. Under their agreement, Lexicon made design recommendations to Oppo. Those recommendations were all taken, according to Marc Kellom, Harman International’s head of High Performance A/V products. So the fact that the Lexicon and Oppo are the same implies that Lexicon, at its own expense and expertise, brought the quality of the Oppo up to its standards.For rabid Oppo fans to then parade around the internet acting like Lexicon broke the 10 commandments is quite ironic, considering they are enjoying Lexicon's improvements to the Oppo without compensating Lexicon. So if anyone is being robbed here, it may well be Lexicon.

Is it not agreed that that's a larger improvement than anything Harman suggested? Or was that their suggestion, and they chose not to use it? I say you're travelling a lonely road my friend...which is not a bad thing. :)
I do have Harman and Lex gear in two of my rooms. Oppo also in one of those two, and another room too. I'm not biased. Just cheap.
Yes, it makes more sense to criticize Lexicon for not OEM'ing the SE version of the Oppo, but I suppose the priority was placed on HDMI with analog performance an afterthought.
