True -- he will get that new codecs, but that wasn't his original question. Why does he need to consider something like the new Denon or the upcoming 881?

He needs to consider them because of the quality of their dacs compared to the $300 Sony. The Denon review says it sets a new standard in audio performance. Here or on the other forum Ron-C hinted that the 881 dacs might approach the quality of the 500 dacs, only multi-channel.

Multi-channel SACD through the Denon or Mc dacs is another reason to upgrade the Blu-ray player when the time comes.

As it is, he has many thousands of dollars in high end equipment limited to the dacs in a $300 Sony.
