I’ve seen startup and eject times that are faster and slower from other players Operation is smooth and reasonably speedy.Video playback is first-rate when upscaling a DVD, playing a high-quality Blu-ray disc, or a 4K UHD presentation with HDR.It spins almost any disc as noted above and does it with generally similar specs as the Oppo Digital players. It’s similar in specs to the much loved and now missed Oppo UDP-203 and UPD-205. It’s the UBR-X200 that holds the most interest for me, and I think most home theater and high-end audio fans will agree. Reavon makes three nicely designed players, the UBR-X100, the UBR-X110, and the UBR-X200, the subject of this review. Zappiti is now its own company and is now independent of Archisoft. ![]() It’s from a French Company, Archisoft, which was also responsible for the highly praised-in-these-pages Zappiti video streamers. Imagine my surprise when suddenly, there was a new kid on the block. The Panasonic players have excellent audio and video from movie discs, but they are decidedly not universal players.Īnd while Sony offers a few players that will let you play SACDs, they aren’t what I would call high-end players in terms of specs or build quality. I predicted Panasonic would never license SACD from Sony, and that turned out to be the case. Pioneer tried for a while, and Panasonic has some nice players, but they were far from universal players. I kept waiting for someone to pick up the gauntlet. Oppo had popularized a universal player that could give you playback of DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, 4K UHD discs, as well as DVD Audio, SACD discs, regular CDs, and more. ![]() When Oppo Digital stopped selling and developing its high-quality universal disc players a few years ago, you could hear a collective moan from videophiles and audiophiles around the world.
