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

I’m leaning on the Panasonic DP UB820 it had some pretty good reviews.

thanks for the help?

I have talked to a few guys that have the pioneer and they all spoke very favorably of it. A couple of them said the sound and build quality blows away the Oppo.  
It is supposed to.  To be honest, the system that I placed it in doesn’t have a 4 K display.
