Well I have the Solo 4k setup (alas I am now a Dune user
) with the digital coax feeding straight into my DAC digital input on my Arcam SA10 stereo amplifier and it was worth buying the Dune for this reason alone as it sounds fantastic compared to Bluray HDMI into a TV then Toslink into my amplifier.
Not sure how many of you are audiophiles but the Dune even plays SACD ISO files which my fancy Arcam SACD player wouldn't.
These Dune players are so much better than those generic Android boxes I am glad I did not buy and I found the subtitles are now available for everything, unlike my Bluray player which hardly ever 'seen' them unless using discs.
The only video files it wouldn't play were VP9 files I downloaded from YouTube, I thought it did play the older VP9 but not VP9 profile 2 which the new Dunes do, maybe they actually are VP9 profile 2 files and that is why but it only states VP9 in the Media Info software.
Another weird thing is it said it didn't recognise the file format in my main video storage which is a 1TB portable USB HDD, it did recognise the other 1TB HDD which I have music on and another 500GB HDD... BTW all are NTFS formatted.
The picture quality is amazing through my 1080p photography monitor which I temporarily swapped out with my LCD TV and it is difficult to go back, maybe I should buy a small set top box for it so I can get TV.
The Dune OS is very good if not a little dated looking, I wonder is it the same OS in the new players? I love how it remembers where in every file you were watching even after switching it off.
If I had have known about Dune players years ago I would have got one, to think that I persisted (and nearly bought a newer BD player) with that LG Bluray player with it's dinosaur media file capability for so long...
But now I have found salvation
