Even though I already own the Panasonic UB900, I just might get this also. I wander how much the X1000 will cost?

Unknown at the moment.

I'll get confirmation tomorrow on the BD players at my Sony meeting and post my findings.

I'd like to think that the 800X could get a DV firmware upgrade later, given that everything 2017 Sony 4K/UHD will support DV.

Love Sony BD players. Will wait and see if this has an HDR off option though, which I really like about the Oppo.

[HDTV1080P]

According to the spec sheet the new Sony UBP-X800 will play both DVD-Audio discs and Super Audio CD’s. I would be really interested in this Sony UBP-X800 since it appears to be the second brand on the market that will play those niche audiophile optical discs.

It is a bad ideal to remove all analog audio outputs. Some consumers need 2 channel stereo RCA jacks for the multi-room zone 2 feature on some A/V receivers.

It sez "HDR→SDR converter" in the specs, FWIW.

For LOTR,

@ 59:25 JP Torres from the Sony Audio Team getting into supported formats a little bit. When you say running car do you mean powered on or moving at a rate of speed

no optical outputs as well. the back is very very poor compared to something like the oppo 203 or UB900.

This might be my next player, depending on price.

NO Dolby Vision.

[PS3_Kiwi]

I can't believe that Sony will not make this player Dolby Vision capable at a later date. All of their 2017 TV line up will be able to display DV (even the ZD9 series through a firmware update).

If it turns out not to include DV in any way, then it is an even dumber decision than not including a 4K UHD HDR player in the PS4 Pro

[Mr. Cinema]

I think the UHP-H1 launched at $349, which means this probably debuts min. of $399?

price has been confirmed at 400 euro for EU, £400 most likely for UK which is like $500

[elwaylite]

Not bad.

It should be accurate, will have HDR to SDR conversion and good streaming support.
