4K Multi Disc Player?

[benjo37]

I live in a small flat and want to maximise space with a high performance, stand-alone multi disc player. Can anyone recommend a solid 4K equivalent to 2012's Denon DBP-2012UD at a similar price point? I am aware of the Pioneer UDP-LX500 and Panasonic DP-UB9000 but these are from 2019. Are there any other contenders? Is anyone aware of any upcoming releases?

Very few around, assuming you mean universal disc as opposed to multi-disk, which is a completely different beast.
There is this,

Also the more expensive X200.
However nothing wrong with those 2019 players

Thanks, I did mean multi-disk but a universal multi-disk player would definitely be the Holy Grail !

best of luck with that.
the ones you mentioned are not multi -disc.
I think you are maybe getting terminology wrong. Do you mean a player that you can load multiple discs at once ? Like a jukebox?
Or do you mean one which will play CD, bluray, DVD etc by loading a single disc?

The Pioneer although universal has not been available for ages; the Panasonic is just a 4K Blu-Ray player, regarding the Reavon you need the X110 or X200 as the x100 does not do SACD.
Another player that is universal is the Sony UBP-X800M2, which is also way cheaper than the others and is solidly built. (Its OS is not the most user friendly when it comes to Dolby Vision though)

we need to clarify first what exactly he means by multi-disc.....

My understanding was that multi disc meant 'multi format' i.e. 4k, standard blu ray, dvd and cd (which is what I'm after) and universal disc referred to the global region i.e. DVD region 1, 2, etc and Blu Ray region A, B, etc.

multi And universal are the same.

if you want a multi region player they are only available as a hack to the software.

For DVDs and blu rays that is. 4K blu rays are region free.

All players will play 4K blu ray, standard blu ray, DVD and CD. Is there any other disc you want support of?

With regards to multiregion, they sell multiregion players.

MPAA did try to force them to put region lock, but HD DVD lost the war to blu ray by then.

Thanks for the advice

I see, that's not my understanding of multiple.

 

[benjo37]

Yeah, in retrospect I should have said 'multi region' and used 'universal' to refer to disc types.

Most DVDs and Blurays seem to be available just about anywhere these days so why the need for multi-regional?
it's certainly going to reduce the number of players available.
