It was mentioned in the Sound and Vision magazine review that the UBR-X200 and UBR-X100 build quality lags that of other flagship players. Also the review mentions that the UBR-X100 does not support SACD’s and DVD-Audio discs, that feature is exclusive to the UBR-X200. Someone also mentioned that the UBR-X110 lacks SACD and DVD-Audio support. However now I am seeing there was a firmware update to the UBR-X100 that allows it to play DVD-Audio discs but no SACD support. The latest specs for the UBR-X110 now shows both SACD and DVD-Audio support. Now Reavon needs to offer a HDR10+ firmware update.

Inflation is really hitting the high-end market.

The Reavon UBR-X100 list price is now $899 (use to cost $799).
The Reavon UBR-X110 list price is $999
The Reavon UBR-X200 list price is $1,799 (use to cost $1,699).

The Reavon UBR-X200 would be ideal for the main home theater room for those that do not own the reference year 2016 OPPO UDP-203 for $549. The Sony UBP-X800M2 that plays SACD’s and DVD-AUDIO discs looks like an attractive player for around $298 for each additional TV’s in one’s home or condo. The Reavon UBR-X110 is also a decent player that plays SACD’s and DVD-Audio discs but no analog audio outputs. Personally I would not even consider getting the UBR-100 that lacks SACD capability. For only $100 more one can get the UBR-X110.

But we sure are seeing a lot of inflation. The UBR-X200 for $1,799 is not as good as the OPPO UDP-203 that use to sell for $549. Glad to see there is 3 choices of Reavon Blu-ray players now.
