Finally a new player!

Can't see HDR mentioned though...

Wow. Zero HDR information in the specs LOL

IIRC, the BDA requires HDR10 for all licensed UHD Blu-ray players.

I really like the looks of this player and as a projector owner it should be fine. Also use standard EIA 19" racks so makes mounting this player easy.

It's about £570, will be interesting to read reviews.

bhampton · 11-15-2020, 03:18 PM

Looks capable of playing network shared files.

The balanced analog outputs are nice. The remote doesn't look to be backlit.

Agent Kay · 11-15-2020, 04:18 PM

So they have Minidisc players and UHD playersojnon sale at the same time then

Is the Denon DN-500BD MKII a clone of the predecessor to this Tascam?

While its awesome to see a new standalone region B 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player for the European market, since I live in the United States I will not be able to purchase one even if I wanted one, since it appears this Tascam model will not be offered in the USA or North America.

If you only want it for UHDs, the region won’t matter.

They have a Wikipedia entry. Some California outfit. So it better play The Beach Boys, or I'll be disappointed.

Given it's an American company stepping into the UHD game. I suppose Americans should take some comfort in this. Not exactly something you'd expect these days.
