Re: Anthem or other to replace a Marantz 5009?
I don't see SACD as a feature I need. It's a dead format and I don't own any and don't want to. If you guys need that, I guess it's worth talking about and buying the player for it.
As far as picture quality, all 4K players are the same, unless they will support different HDR formats like Dolby Vision in the future, so I guess that can be a concern for those that want to get the latest and greatest formats and update their TV/projector every year. Still no word if there is going to be a future for Darbee in the 4K world. It's all moving so fast I doubt they can keep up.
Oppo stated at some point that they won't be doing streaming in their players because it's easy to buy a streaming player stick and just plug it into the Oppo, or, since most TV's have all the apps included now, just go that route.
