Just one last look you can get a multi-zone and multi-region one for the same price:

Which 4K blu ray players have you currently got, and do you use them often?Just one last look you can get a multi-zone and multi-region one for the same price:
I don’t use them often, Buzz. So not a good buy for me. Cheers.

I Was a bit gobsmacked at the increases. I personally felt that the ubr x100 was overpriced at 699.00 due to the lack of sacd support , no WiFi and DVD audio support only via a firmware support . The firmware i have read is prone to bugs and the firmware update is not always successful.
I can't help feeling the the price increase is partly due to lack of competition in the midprice sector and supply channel issues affecting production .

Mentions the Reavon X110 is coming soon on a British dealer:

Why? Didn't you already buy one and return? You know you don't need it.
My Cambridge Audio 4K Blu-ray player keeps playing up. I had the x100 but the pure Audio button didn’t work so returned it faulty. I am replacing my CA player with the x110 Reavon 4K player. Bought it from Europe too.
My Cambridge Audio is working perfectly again, just needed a firmware update which now got and one disc had finger prints on!

I paid import duty of £165 on Friday and will be delivered tomorrow by Parcel Force. Total cost £915 from HDL including. Not worth sending back though I will keep or sell it.

If I were Reavon I'd rather take that extra 140 quid to enhance the sound and video rather than trying to be a jack of all trades incorporating largely expired physical formats like SACD and DVD-Audio
It reeks a bit of marketing gimmickry.

For some people, those things might be important.
I have decided I am going to hook up the Reavon X110 player to my Denon amp and keep my CA player connected too and rotate between the 2 of them. It’s not the first time I have had 2 4K Blu-Ray players either!

Why would you rotate them?! You can only use one at once. If the CA works I would save your money and return the Reavon. Surely that makes sense?!
Well I have already paid £165 customs charge I doubt I can get that back now and I would’ve pay to send it back to France and that won’t be cheap or easy.

I'm assuming the import duty is a done deal. Just thinking if you sold it you might lose even more?
Yep, although the UK price of it will be similar to what I paid including customs charge. Reavon don’t seem that popular at the moment though people prefer the Panasonic UB900 or an old Oppo on ebay.

Brand familiarity I guess. People don't like things they don't know about. Apart from the real cinephiles you find on forums!
I also suppose me collecting Blu-Ray players is like someone else collecting motor bikes.

I suspect there are likely more variables involved with owning multiple motorbikes, but as I don't I can only speculate! As I have said in another thread, my or anyone else's opinion as to how others spend their money is nothing to do with anyone other than the purchaser. If it makes you happy and you have the cash then go for it. I just can't see the point in having two is all given the likely minor differences. 🙂👍

Absolutely spot on. Gel loves his hi-fi, gets a lot of pleasure from it, so crack on.
Sure is next couple of hours and it will be here.

It would depend on where the pleasure is...... pleasure of buying or actually using and enjoying the product?
