Overview
Zidoo built this player as a home theater source that plays Blu-ray rips with full menus over the network and doubles as a hi-res audio player. An ESS DAC handles music, and HDMI passes Atmos and Dolby Vision to the AV chain.
Menu-accurate Blu-ray playback and a serious DAC in one box replace a disc player and a streamer for collectors with large libraries. It is a big, heavy component that needs rack space.
Who it's for
Collectors, audiophiles and dedicated theater rooms get network Blu-ray playback and strong audio decoding. People who mostly watch streaming apps will not use its strengths.
Pros and cons
- Full Blu-ray menu playback
- Dolby Vision and HDR10+
- Hi-res DAC with DSD support
- USB DAC input mode
- Large and heavy
- Android 11 is an older OS
- Encrypted discs not supported
Performance notes
Video quality depends on the Amlogic chip decoding high bitrate files without stutter and sending them untouched over HDMI. Music quality comes from the ESS DAC and dual power supplies, which keep audio separate from video noise.
