I was speaking with the folks at Kaleidescape last week and there is still no timeline for LPCM decoding in player. It will happen, but my guess is not this year. It is low priority as most systems other than M. can decode bitstream.

Also, current Oppo is blu-ray, not 4K capable. It will up convert to 4K but not play it. Hopefully they will introduce a UHD player later this year as someone mentioned earlier.

Hopefully, we also get an update to the HD621 to handle 4K. I suspect if it does happen it will end up being a new product or significant hardware upgrade. Let's also keep our fingers crossed that the next version of 861 will be everything we hope it will be.

Happy long weekend to my fellow Hitchhikers in USA and Canada.
