Hi, can any bros check and advise if the DP-UB9000 is able to support playback of ripped mkv files with Dolby Atmos and DTS-X audio via the USB port. Thanks.

not very budget friendly considering that 240v modification and delivery charge is not included.​

Wow! Savings is enuf to buy a new one if anything happens to the original unit. Worth it.
UB-9000 @ GBP799 deal is over.
price goes back up to GBP999.
for budget hunters, now will have to look what German E-tailers able to offer... cheapest i see now, EUR990 with German tax removed, excludes shipping charges that's much lower than English E-tailers charges.

SONY X800m2 goes under €400 with German tax removed, shipping charges not included. in comparison to what TPS offers, @ the price of £400, you don't get multiregion compatibility on FHDBD and DVD.

until the part on video is confirmed, we'll tentatively consider the VDAC is still MT8581 like it’s brother the #800.

a cut and paste of what i had posted in the ex-Xtremeplace forum...

Those who did JailBreak with firmware with your Pioneer LX5/800 players,
should be very familiar with HDSir 高清先生.

Roughly near end of 2020,
HDSir released 2 premium 4K physical media disc players,

UDP-300
O1CN01ctcUEX1RszKODiEdS_!!2365932168.jpg_q50s50.jpg_.webp

which priced @ CNY6000 approx ala SGD1200 approx.
(price in link for your reference. shipping charges applies)

UDP-900
O1CN01RCXtk81SdFLQn5owg_!!712132269.png_q50s50.jpg_.webp

which priced @ CNY13000 approx ala SGD2500 approx.
(price in link for your reference. shipping charges applies)

Chinese Reviews on both sets by same reviewer for your read up interest,
which comes with lots of pictures and comparison to competitor!

to majority of the consumers in this little island... when they come across a device that packs both a HDD and a optical disc drive, the first thing they might expect is "Does This Do Record?"
and should the seller replies "No... this READ and PLAYS only", guess what, the possible sales jumps off.

this is the most legit reason/excuse i can think of, why sellers are reluctant to bring such stuff in regardless that Zidoo and Zappiti HDD base 4K players are sold and uses widely in the community.

prices dropped further for those seeking for standalone 4K/Audio disc player only...

...if anyone have a big Region B/2 discs collection of BDs and DVD.​

anymore budget friendly find?
yup... there is, from Germany!
... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ...​
the quoted e-tailer in the previous post computeruniverse.net don't ship to overseas market anymore except European region. a replacement e-tailer needs to be discovered and after some looking up, i found one European e-tailer branch that sell and ships region B/2 locked Panasonic UB824(820 in UK) in a price with Euro-VAT removed and Ships to SG.
...the price is attractive, but take note that shipping charges still applies, as well as local GST charged upon arrival.
this is a great saving if u're buying as a standalone player.
(although there's a way to break the region blockage barrier on Blu-Rays as shared in some YT clips)

for those looking for SACD compatibility...
View attachment 5742
...the price didn't drop much, just that you can choose between the old, vs the new mk2.
10months later...
271d99e499880e617f1e4ea191dae5171db9af4c.png

...with shipping charges applicable and UK VAT not removed for export.
hence, be it mark1 or mark2 X800, with shipping charges applied which cost about GBP50, buying from the UK e-tailer will cost u roughly SGD$750 to bring in, and still subjected to tax.​

...prices over the European side seems to have moved UP!​
