I just started playing around with MadVR and haven't learned the extent of its capabilities. So that pushed me back to the HTPC road for now. I was going to buy the Panasonic 820 disc player, but it is not good at playing files off a network, which is how my set up mostly runs. Since it was time to upgrade from my i5-750, Radeon 5850 rig, I figured I'd go 4k compatible. I've had a HTPC for a decade+, and it just seemed like something I'd have.
Personally, I'm new to the 4k/HDR world (like 3 days), so I'm just starting to discover some of the technical limitations and hurdles that come along with it, like Roku Ultra and Chromecast Ultra not playing TrueHD or DTSX audio.

Another feature exclusive to the ultra version is ISO file playback.

Cyberlink has just announced PowerDVD with 8K playback capability. It is now on version 19 and it is adding 8K compatibility to the mix. CyberLink PowerDVD has been around for pretty much my entire adult life.
