While the cost of the player isn't the least expensive thing out there, its not horribly expensive, especially by Meridian standards.

Still, I would sure love to see an updated HD621 that can decode.

As it is, I understand the 621 and 4k don't get along so at a minimum I would imagine they will have to update the 621 to accommodate 4K.
But does the Oppo not have two HDMI outputs like the older models? You can send one to the HD621 and one direct to your screen or display for 4k. Would the HD621 then strip out the audio and send to the 861 even if it is a UHD signal?
