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

Pioneer is where it's at right now, but I don't know if they have a less expensive version of their 1K model.

axmeman,

the reason I am considering the Samsung UBD M9500 player is because of my bright family room I decided to get the Samsung q90 tv series.

I am replacing my Samsung plasma tv for 4k.

Because the Panasonic has Dolby vision and the Samsung TV doesn’t . I thought that the Samsung player paired with a Samsung TV both support HDR10 might be beneficial in some ways.

thank you

I'd get one of the Sony high end Blue ray-multi disc players I got one last year and I'm quite pleased with it, there are a few models avail in your price range. The one i got doesn't have a DAC in it though but there is the next level one that does so you have some flexibility there. If your feeding a HT system that has a DAC in it then you can save some money there. 

UBP-X800 is similar to the one I got last year but with audio out as well as digital. HDR as well. 

Mine has very good picture quality ( 70" 4k TV).
