No. Your receiver isn't good enough and is 4 years old. NO BLURAY PLAYER improves audio. Not even older Oppo players. They just pass cleaner/decoded audio to your receiver. The Sony 1100ES is the best player I used at passing through and playing ATMOS audio samples and using with my Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar. I returned the Panasonic UDP 9000, because it was limited in it's capabilities. The 1100ES performs much closer to an Oppo player, whereby it can handle ALL formats. My recommendation to you is buy a more modern receiver if you want better audio performance. Look at Marantz receiver. I use that in another setup with Magnepan speakers. Sounds unreal. If you want a cheaper player to use with your receiver, the Sony UBP-X700 can passthrough Atmos and is 300 dollars cheaper than the 1100ES. But both perform closely similar when it comes to audio enhancements.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think Rich is wrong. I just put one of these in my very old but very good 2-channel stereo and it is VERY good sounding. In fact, I had a Sony 4K DVD player and this sounds massively better on music than that did
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don’t agree with this answer. I own the 1100. And Panasonic 820. The sound with the 1100 is so much better it’s like listening to a different sound track. And the video is as good as the Panasonic.
