Hi,
Been a while since I posted on these forums, but would appreciate any suggestions you can make.
I currently have an Oppo BDP-83 but would like to enter the world of Video streaming from Netflix etc. and would like to change to a Blu-Ray player which has inbuilt streaming capability.
My question is do I really need to buy an Oppo 103 for £500 or would a cheaper player suit my needs. ?
Here is my setup.
Oppo BDP-83 connected via HDMI-only through a Yamaha DSP-Z7 receiver to a Panasonic 46" Plasma
Although I like quality-built products, (I had a couple of Arcam DVD players prior to the Oppo), I don't use the Audio outputs of the Oppo and don't think I would make the most of the features of the BDP 103.
From initial research yesterday I identified a couple of options….
Sony BDP-S790
Panasonic BDT 500
However, it looks like I'm a couple of months too late for these as they are no longer readily available.
Are there any obvious choices that I've missed in the sub-£500 range or are there replacements for the above Sony or Panasonic players that I should look at ?
Thanks in advance.
