Reavon Blu-ray DVD-Audio SACD player coming out in Europe.

[Soundfield]

I emailed REAVON last week but have so far not received any response as to likely availability. I have checked their listed European dealers and at least half of them actually have no mention of these players (including the French dealer!). The only tiny piece of news I could find was on the German dealer's website which says "The first delivery is currently scheduled for Q3 2021" - so maybe September then?!

No HDMI In?

I never heard anything back from Reavon but whilst the German distributor is still saying "available Q3" I've just noticed that the UK distributor now shows the following ETA info:

But since we've nearly reached the end of June I'm not sure that those dates have any more credibility than the originally slated April deadline.

Found THIS 'endorsement' on the Reavon website regarding their flagship UBR`X200 Universal Player quite amusing:




“Since King OPPO Digital stopped producing Blu-ray players, there is no longer any alternative for disc lovers. But now we can count on Reavon to offer us audiophile quality UHD players!”

Humm, Near $2k US, and nowhere does it list DVD-A as supported? I'm not so sure about this TI Burr-Brown Audio PCM1690 DAC, have to wait till Amir gets one in to measure it's performance, so no idea if the analog outputs will be of any value (any better than the DAC you currently use).
If you use it's HDMI out for Audio/Video, its performance will depend on the AVR or whatever you have now to handle the data stream.
At this time I see no real value here, I'll stick to my Samsung 4k HDR player or my computer to stream the a/v to my Marantz AV7703. Sadly disc's are going obsolete in any case.

Also their top line model fails in comparison to OPPO in its weight alone….25 lbs vs 15 for Reavon. Better go back to your original name and products REVLON cosmetics lol

Sal, it MOST DEFINITELY plays DVD~Audio ..... clumped together as DVD~Audio/Video but the price is way more than the OPPO 205, IMO!

Not sure I trust them, the 'm' at the end of the name seems one letter wrong! This product they are selling breaks the laws of Physics and probably trading ones as well! High Fidelity Cables | Nano Particle Solution-1260 Price Per Bottle 3ml (audiocomav.com) Homeopathy for the tin hat brigades!

Now here is an Enigma

Reavon and Zappati are both owned by :

French consumer electronics company Groupe Archisoft

And of course OF MAJOR CONCERN .... Will customer service be available for non EU residents? Hmmm!

Well I think OPPO made units for the EU as well so REVLON should do the same just to be fair…but very good point….parlez vous Francois?

 

[Soundfield]

parlez vous Francois?

Non je ne parle pas "Francois", mais je parle français!!
