Thanks, Noble 100,
I'm on about the same track as you are--still enjoying a 60" Kuro Elite plasma but would easily go to OLED when necessary. I would have bought that Panasonic UB9000, but really needed a region-free player just for a TV series finally issued on blu-ray, but from Europe. I ended up buying a Panasonic DMP T27OPS online for not a lot of money. It's a very little unit with only an HDMI output, but it works great out of the TV sound system. Factory box says unit was opened only for modification to region free. The OPPO 95 will remain as main for now--haven't been using it for CD playback, but I will if I replace it as a video player. Good luck hunting for a 4K player that has the platform and heft of an OPPO--other than the UB9000. You may have to have two units, UB9000 for your video, OPPO for your audio---best of both.
Thanks, auxinput--I would have gone for that kit if I had seen it first.
