Re: 4K UHD Blu-ray Players Thread
I don't really see the point in waiting for Oppo. With how incredible 4K and HDR are, I don't know if I see a need for Darbee, but they'll have to convince me. I'm a huge fan of my Marantz sound processor and plan to upgrade that route, not go with the Sabre DACs with no room correction as Oppo does. Seems reasonable to me to save the money by going with Samsung for UHD Blu Ray and continue to use my awesome Nvidia Shield for all streaming.
Also, since I mentioned the Shield, I have to say that it is the best streaming device ever. It has an incredible processor so there's never any lag, it supports full 4K, and it has EVERY streaming service. The best part is that there is a voice button on the (sold separately) remote. Just click it, speak into the mic in the remote (which has amazing voice recognition somehow, and is WAAAY better than shouting across the room at a PS4 that has AWFUL voice recognition) and it searches ALL of the streaming services you're logged into. Friggn' amazing. Can't recommend it enough.
