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

[Owen Smith]

The prices of 205s in the US are bad enough, but trying to buy one in the UK is worse.

 

[Mackspower]

Nice. Wonder if it will use the friendly mediatek chipset that permits SACD ripping? Was surprised DTS:X Pro is not offered.

Good post.

And it shall be Reavon
And it shall be a good player
And it shall be Reavon
In tradition with all disc spinners
And it shall be Reavon
And it shall be a great player
It shall be Reavon
an OPPO clone

Sorry! I couldn’t resist. Apologies to Sir Elton.

But they don't support DVD-Audio? WTF??? How dare they call it a "universal player"?

They do support DVD-Audio, it says so in several of the threads linked from this one.

I think we are all waiting for a review then we can decide.

Dream Reaver?

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the Dream Reaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave my OPPO behind.

I won't be spending $1k on any BD player, Oppo or clone. Nothing in them that a current Samsung or Sony won't do just as good.

Just so you know...Samsung stopped making blu ray players in 2019

As an owner of two OPPO players I love, and as someone who hates to give Sony any of my money, I must add that the UBP-X800 4K player I bought in 2017 ($159) is the best non-OPPO player I've ever used. Picture quality, audio options, snappy transport, simple remote and just well behaved all-around. Won't play my burned DVD-As (not its mission) but does play burned BD (AVCHD)! Shocking that it's a Sony product (playing actual DVD-A discs on it makes me gleeful with irony).

Probably won't make a move on one of these (Sonic Wiz maintain mode) but curious to see how it plays out. Given the top dollar (aka insane) prices the 4K Oppo players command, it's only logical someone would try to pick up the mantle.

For those that are interested...or just curious....this thread should be interesting to follow...the opinion there is that these are NOT Oppo Clones...more like Pioneer players...

If they are indeed Pioneer clones, then stay away. I bought one years ago because it was on paper just as good as the Oppo but much cheaper. I couldn't get it to play half the discs I tried. I sent it back to the factory and got it back "fixed." It was, for a while, then did the same thing again. So I bought another one brand new to see if it was just bad luck. Three players later they all sucked. I have one sitting collecting dust in my basement and bought a used Oppo 103. Haven't had a problem. Stay away from Pioneer all in one. And I say this as I have had Pioneer receivers for over a decade and love them, but their all in one player was junk.

Guess I'm behind the times, but I am at a lot of things. LOL

That's funny, I bought a Sony X800 to replace my old Samsung 8500 so I could spin SACD's. It was a wonderful player with one of the smoothest, quietest disc drawers I've ever seen. But I had a few silly quirks in it's software that drove me nuts so I returned it. Still using my old Sammy, it's digital sound and video are as good as anything out there. Then I bought a used Sony S5100 for $40 off ebay and I get to rip SACD's with it too. LOL
My computer drives handle DVD-A chores for me with no problems so I'm all set in that department.

You are correct, none have it. And the later Oppo's do offer stellar DAC performance so if that's where you choose to do your digital conversion, kool. But if you're looking to do any kind of DRC such as Dirac, Audyssey, whatever, the AVR is converting it back to digital with it's own DAC's to do the work. So I highly doubt any possible SQ advantage survives. Might just as well let you AVR do the work in the first place.

I wish someone would make an OPPO UDP-205 clone. It is my favorite of all the players I’ve tested and/or owned. I really don’t want to pay a minimum of $2,500 to get another one.

Is the Sony UPB-X800 the best option still if getting today to play Dvda,Sacd,and BR?

Can you hookup a Hard drive to play flac's like a Oppo as well?
