Going 4k. Question

With the price down on 4k TVs I'm going for it. My question is: if the tv i buy is HDR capable do I also need a 4k player that has HDR? Or does that even matter?
Any suggestions for a 4k player that might also play DVD-Audio and or SACD? Budget is about $350.00
Thanks

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
I've been eyeballing this one. Sony UBP-X800.

4K HDR content is also available for streaming from Amazon, Netflix, Vudu, etc. Some TV sets have the apps for those services built right in.

Any chance it will play SACD? You did say it will do DVD Audio right?
Fixed it for you
HDR is up for grabs
If you can wait, that's my recommendation. I totally get it if you cannot!!

I am looking at a few TVs. The only features I am making sure to have is at least some form of HDR, 120 or higher refresh rate. Other than that just want a good picture.
Apps are not important as I dont run any audio out of the tv. All is done at the HTR or my current Samsung Blu Ray player.
Going for a 65 inch to replace my 1080p 60 inch. The 60 inch LG I have will go into the living room to replace my Mitsubishi 60 inch DLP. It a great TV, great picture in 1080p but I've had it for 9 years and replaced the bulb only once. But it's time to go. Maybe I'll put it on CL for $35.00
Thanks for the info guys.
AFAIK, SACD is not part of it's equation

I would love that Elite LX-500. But I dont have that kind of coin laying around.
That Pioneer looks sweet. Does anyone know how it compares to the Oppo UDP205?

Really? Are you sure it plays SACD? Does it have to be digital out? I'd rather my Yamaha Aventage 1050 do the DAC duties.
Thanks man!!!
I know, right? Where will it end...

From the manual:
Through HDMI Audio out. Your Yamaha will do the conversion from digital to analog. It works with my Marantz.
