In need of a new bluray player lost without oppo now what ?


Just want to spend in the $500.00 area for a 4k Blu-ray player, I had an Oppo 103 and want to upgrade to 4k.

Any thoughts on Panasonic DP UB820 player or the Samsung UBD M9500.

A recommendation would be appreciated.

thank you

Coming from having Oppo for the last 8 years about, it was difficult to pick a player that I would be happy with, After tons of reviews, I bought the Panasonic DP-UB820-K and I have to say so far I’m pretty happy with it.
For music I activated the Analog stereo on Audio in the set up menu and was able to get analog stereo witch I like.
also bought the Samsung qled 65" q90r tv, the two work great so far so good.
thanks again guys!
The Sony UBP-X1100ES was my second choice, I saw the reviews they are very good.
thanks
The reason why I went with the Panasonic is because it supports HDR+10 and the Sony does'nt, the Samsung tv supports HDR
