Panasonic is positioning the DMP-UB900 as a premium player that features playback of Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray discs including HDR playback.

But the player will be format agnostic, as it will also be able to stream 4K content from Netflix and other streaming providers. So, too, it will be able to play back high-resolution music via a network or from a USB source.

One odd thing about the player is that it will come with a number of "Digital Tube Sound" presets. You know, for those people whose digital music isn't "fake tube distortion-y" enough.

Panasonic has said the player will be released in 2016, so look out for details on pricing.
