Call this a slight re-tooling of Panasonic's DP-UB9000 4K Blu-ray player — and our best audiophile Blu-ray player of 2021. You'll get the most out of your 4K Blu-ray discs and upconverted 1080p discs.
Love everything about this, its an upgrade to my panasonic DP-UB820. The only odd thing was the player does not have any memory for BD-JAVA so you need to plug in and format a usb memory stick in the back of it. Kind of odd for a player this expensive and it does not tell you this, you needed to find it in the manual. Picture quality is outstanding and its much faster than the UB820. Still slow for the new Sony TV its connected to, so the Sony times out while the Panasonic is doing its thing. The image quality is outstanding as is the upscaling and chroma mapping for 1080p blu-ray discs. Perfect match for a 4K TV.
So far so good. Dead silent, quick loadung times, great video processing. Love the build quality. Havent used the analog output since I have a nicer DAC, but nice to have in a pinch. A top notch product.
