Reception

edit

TechRadar and Sound & Vision praised the build quality and audio capabilities but noted the lack of Wi-Fi and streaming apps.[2][3] TechRadar later noted it as "the best 4K Blu-ray player for audiophiles".[4] Trusted Reviews said the remote "is a mass of tiny and nearly identical buttons, so even with the backlight it’s nearly impossible to use in a darkened home cinema." Sound & Vision also noted it as "horrible".[2][5] TechHive said the player delivers "exquisite experiences with both music and movies."[6] Home Cinema Choice's verdict was: "Audio and video quality is superb, and build quality is unbeatable."[7] The player received a Red Dot Design Award in 2023.[8][9]
