| Best combo for sound and picture quality in a Blu-ray player? Good luck , they dont make these disc spinning machines anymore really. I would look at Marantz they may have a universal player. Oppo was the best with thier BDP105 but they quit making them. Now everything is streaming. YUK. Matt M |
