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

It is much better than paying the $2-3.5K that is being asked for the Oppo 205 which is a good player, but not as great as a lot of people think. I would never buy a modded player as the technology is forever changing

A couple of them said the sound and build quality blows away the Oppo.
