    Tron Legacy is always a good tester for me

    "The Amazing Spiderman 2" scene with electro in the public square is a pretty good to test out the system.

    Any other suggestions?

    If a movie has its soundtrack remastered for a 4K release it will likely sound better. However, the same soundtrack will also appear on the Blu Ray version that's in the package. Unforgiven was remastered when it was released recently. I don't think a stand alone Blu Ray version has been released. :

    I would imagine the "Planet Earth" series (if available in 4k) would be awesome.

    The recent second series of Planet Earth is in 4K for a decent price....

    John Wick 2. Incredible sound! Outstanding LFE workout, without sounding bloated or boomy. Highly recommended.

    Dunno about 4k sound, but I can say that my standard def. DVD of U471, (the depth charge scene) is awesome. I like to use this movie to show off my system. Even though it's lossy, it still sounds pretty darn good.
    I recently picked up a Cambridge Audio Azur BD752 and couldn't be happier. It plays everything including DVD-A & SACD and doubles as a DAC for my cheapo, Aios media player w/2TB hard drive. It upsamples everything to 192k. I like the Rush, 2112 blu-ray for showing off br audio capabilities.
