Hi all.
I was hoping I could get some solid opinions on the best blu-ray player available for purchase. I only prefer high end brand names, like Samsung and Sony because I've had pretty horrible luck with brands like Phillips, Toshiba, etc. etc.
Can anyone recommend a really good blu-ray player at a fair price? I don't know much about them -- I keep reading on most product descriptions that there's something to do with WiFi and internet, etc. etc. Could someone elaborate on this too and blu-ray players features?
Thanks!

Hands down, get the Oppo BDP-93. It's $500 and the best value for the buck. Oppo reviews have been awesome. The Sony and Samsung models are disposable players in the low-end of the spectrum.
Oppo BDP-93 plays Blu-Ray, has Dolby True HD, DTS-HD, TWO HDMI outputs, digital audio outputs, and a 7.1 channel direct output. It can also play SACD and DVD-Audio.
One of my favorite hi-end players is the McIntosh, which runs up to $7,000. So I don't think your definition of hi-end and mine are the same. But I can't afford the McIntosh either. My choice is the Oppo which is built solid and the performance and features measure up to competitors charging thousands. See below for a link

Recommendations for high-end Blu-ray players?
Me
Hi, looking for reviews, comparisons, recommendations for high-end blu ray players. I have a Denon 791 AV receiver with Energy Take Classic speaker system. My budget is $500 to $1000
Requirements for the player.
- First requirement: upcoversion from standard definition regular DVDs is a critical requirement since I have a number of such DVDs
- First requirement: excellent audio
- Second requirement: Netflix streaming and 3D
- Third requirement: wi-fi
Is Oppo BDP-93 the best given these requirements (I understand it does not have wi-fi, however, since that requirement is third on my list I can live without it)?
Thanks

The Oppo has wireless, it is a fantastic universal player, can't go wrong with it.
From the BDP-93 spec page:
"Wireless & Ethernet â Using the included wireless-N adapter or the built-in RJ45 Ethernet port, users will be able to interact with BD-Live content, watch instant streaming programs from provides such as Netflix, Blockbuster etc., playback contents stored on their home network, and keep the BDP-93 up-to-date with firmware releases to ensure maximum Blu-ray compatibility."
