The Dune is a different animal altogether, in that it is primarily a media streamer. It will stream ISO's over a network, although evidently not 3D Blu-ray or DVD-A ISO's. However, the Dune, Popcorn Hour, and other networked media streamers will stream Blu-ray and DVD-V ISO's.

I assume you mean a .ISO file that has the been burnt using ImgBurn or similar to create a DVD-Audio or SACD-R?
I'm confused because to me 'ISO-playback' can mean:
(i) burning an ISO image to disc as above
(ii) playing a .ISO file from a data disc
(iii) playing a .ISO file over a network
(iv) playing an ISO file structure over a network i.e. the contents of an \AUDIO_TS folder in the case of a DVD-Audio or \VIDEO_TS in the case of a DVD-Video.
A few years ago I tried all these with limited success with Oppo DV-980H, Helios X-5000, Xbox 360 and another 100BaseT/Wi-Fi enabled DVD player I can't even recall the name of. All fell down at multiple points in the GUI when trying to access 10,000+ songs from network storage. I recall the Xbox giving a single alphabetical list of either 1,000 albums or maybe even 10,000 tracks. Unusable either way. I would always end up listening to the 'A's….
The only one I still have is the Oppo DV-980H. This plays commercial SACD and DVD-Audio as well as ones I have burnt myself. Obviously it has no Blu-Ray playback. It could be a very cheap option to get one of these second-hand for SACD-R playback.

I don't own one, but I've been told the Dune doesn't play DVD-A ISO's (i.e. there's no MLP decoder). If that's true, it's a huge disadvantage vs. an Oppo 93/95 with firmware that still has ISO playback.
There is rumored to be a firmware hack that will restore ISO playback on an Oppo that has been updated with new firmware. I haven't investigated since my Oppo still plays ISO's.

AFAIK, you cannot downgrade to previous firmware version.
However, another thing you can try -
I bought the Nuforce edition of the oppo bdp93 (slightly upgraded),
just as the new firmware was released, and it didnt have the previous
version but even an earlier one-
So my guess is the Nuforce stock is slightly older as it undergoes
other upgrades,
Chances are you can get a new Nuforce with the older firmware
(you can ask before you buy, this is what I did)
