Cool Good substitute for Xbox One S as a 3D Blu Ray player

I was considering selling my Xbox One S if I could find a reasonable Blu-ray 3D player that is very similar to an Xbox one but doesn't necessarily play in the games.

The unique feature I like in the Xbox One S is that you could set the settings to go into headphone mode by a $15 decoder app known as Dolby Atmos headphone app and buy another $20 decoder app known as dtsx headphone app, and then alternate switching between Dolby DTS and this third decoder which comes for free called Windows Sonic which decodes lpcm movies into headphone format.

The thing is the headphone sound always sounds great both in terms of hi fidelity, as well as something I call difi or directional fidelity. You could hear all around the soundscape what's supposed to be happening relative to your fixed camera perspective of what the director shows you in a movie. If you could hear something circling around you you could hear something circling around you. It has great 3D sound effects. And the reason for the great 3D sound effects is the direct Dolby and DTS to headphone format decoding

Unfortunately I don't know of any standalone 3D Blu-ray players that could use Dolby app and DTS app for headphones as well as a Windows Sonic thing and give you good difi.

Are there any stand-alone 3D Blu-ray players (4K is not necessary until they make a 4K 3D TV that's within my price range of a Sony PlayStation 3D TV back in 2012 with as low of ping as my Compaq 720P CRT VGA monitor.)

So are there any other ways to enjoy both Dolby and DTS movies with the proper surround decoder without having to buy external equipment or if one does Buy external equipment I can't seem to find one that does DTS and they'll be and lpcm and one unit.

Or do I literally have the best movie player there is for headphone users who want difi.

You already have the best solution for what you are trying to do. No standalone players support the Atmos and DTS apps to give you what you currently have. All you can get directly out of standalone players is just regular bluetooth audio. I have used the bluetooth audio from the Sony players a few times late at night and it's nothing special.

Just hold onto your Xbox One S until it dies!

Cool Better disc/instreaming movie player: Playstation 3 vs Xbox One S

I know that the Xbox Series S can play all download Xbox One games. The only thing I'd be missing is the One Kinect games and the One Disc games.

I own a PlayStation 3dtv. I don't have 4k.

I have a Turtle Beach DSS as my surround to headphone processor.

I know Vudu 3d works on PS3 but not Xbox One S.

Which of the 2 players is a better movie player, given my equipment? Which is a better instreaming player?

Also if my main IRL friends are split between the One and the Series, will not having a One affect online gameplay with them?

Would it be better to "Indian Gift" my Xbox One S to a friend, or would me having a Series S and her having my One make us unable to play each other?

I think the second question should be answered first because if we can't play each other, there's no point in letting her borrow it.

Depends which PS3 model you have, the OG FAT cant do 7.1 true HD audio on blurays (3D) only 7.1 Multichannel PCM, they fixed that on one of the slims i believe. The xbox like you said cant do vudu in 3D the PS3 can but how is the support on that today ? so you gonna have to pick your poison there.
