Is this not a disc issue rather than a player issue? I've read that it's usually determined by how the disc is authored which is the decision of the studio releasing it.Does this player auto-resume on all discs? My Panny 820 doesn't and it's rather annoying. Some discs auto-resume, but Game of Thrones for example didn't and involved a lot of faffing on a lot of discs!
The Reavon UHD players have an auto-resume disc function, even when the player is switched off.Does this player auto-resume on all discs? My Panny 820 doesn't and it's rather annoying. Some discs auto-resume, but Game of Thrones for example didn't and involved a lot of faffing on a lot of discs!
It might be. Don't see why though. The player knows where it's up to when it stops. Daft decision either way, unless (conspiracy alert) a further nudge towards streaming.Is this not a disc issue rather than a player issue?

Oppo 203 review - The disc mechanism is smooth and despite some owners complaining that their players are noisy, our review sample was nearly silent in operation. The UDP-203 measures 430 x 311 x 79mm (WxDxH) and weighs in at 4.3kg.Why do the X100 get a 10 in build quality? And the OPPO 203 got 9? could you specify why this super flimsy Reavon is better build than the OPPO please.

So what your saying is if you put a brig in a box the product gets better?From Oppo 203 review - The disc mechanism is smooth and despite some owners complaining that their players are noisy, our review sample was nearly silent in operation. The UDP-203 measures 430 x 311 x 79mm (WxDxH) and weighs in at 4.3kg.
From Reavon X100 review - The 1.6mm-thick chassis base is reinforced with a 3mm-thick steel plate rigid under base to minimise the mechanical motion sound from the disc drive. The result is significantly lower noise, and a more rigid and stable chassis structure. The X100 measures 430 x 300 x 85mm (WxDxH) and weighs a hefty 6.2kg.
Take the analogue connections out the Oppo and they'll look very similar. I think the steel plate and added mass makes the overall unit more rigid which helps with minimising vibrations/noise.So what your saying is if you put a brig in a box the product gets better?

I own Pioneer,Denon, XBOX, Sony, Panasonic, Cambridge, and OPPO player, so guess i have a leg in every camp.T

Looking at your signature, it's clear you enjoy an Oppo or two. I own neither so have no dog in the race but I think the answer to your question was in both reviews.

So the OPPO is not a multi layer pcb motherboard?The Reavon UBR-X100 is a digital transport, the OPPO UDP-203 had analogue outputs, so this accounts for the absence of the 5.1 audio board and analogue audio power supply requirements compared to the Reavon.
The Reavon X100 motherboard multi-layer PCB design also allows a for smaller footprint, shorter power and signal paths.
OPPO also used multi-layer PCB's, but it is unknown how many layers were used in the 203/205 design. The more layers used, the smaller the footprint of the PCB.So the OPPO is not a multi layer pcb motherboard?
So your saying the reason the Reavon got a better rating is that it got more layers and shorter signal path? Do you have the pcb layout schematics, or are you guessing?OPPO also used multi-layer PCB's, but it is unknown how many layers were used in the 203/205 design.

He/She/They aren't saying anything about the rating. Just responding with facts to your angst at the rating and review.So your saying the reason the Reavon got a better rating is that it got more layers and shorter signal path? Do you have the pcb layout schematics, or are you guessing?
Wil that mean that the Reavon X200 is worse build quality then, as it got a bigger motherboard design?
The fact is that it got a 3mm steel plate, and a smaller motherboard, the X200 got a bigger motherboard, more like the OPPO design, so how i see it the fact presented is that the smaller/ less the better, and the heavier chassis the better. Nobody seems to present anything but marketing bs, if we need to go into motherboard facts we need the schematics and domeasures to compare.He/She/They aren't saying anything about the rating. Just responding with facts to your angst at the rating and review.
I assume the Reavon got a better rating than the OPPO, because the picture and sound quality is...better.So your saying the reason the Reavon got a better rating is that it got more layers and shorter signal path? Do you have the pcb layout schematics, or are you guessing?

Ahh so maybe thats why the OPPO board is bigger as well? Do you think that the OPPO and Reavon boards are all Mediatek designs for different applications? And looking at build quality the difference might not be found on the motherboard, maybe we should look at the drive, and the power supply instead?I assume the Reavon got a better rating than the OPPO, because the picture and sound quality is...better.
I don't have the schematics for either player, but some have experience in PCB design and layout so it is an educated guess.
The motherboard in the Reavon X200 is larger due to the additional circuitry for the the RS232, digital signal paths, etc., to the analogue audio board.
As I understand it the auto-resume depends on how the disc is encoded, rather than the specific player.Does this player auto-resume on all discs? My Panny 820 doesn't and it's rather annoying. Some discs auto-resume, but Game of Thrones for example didn't and involved a lot of faffing on a lot of discs!

I dont see jitter measurements on the HDMI out, no resolution patterns, chroma handling/ upsampling test, so image better how?
If you look back at some older reviews you will find more objective testing, i know these days thats history, and a review is just advertising for yet another player, and no reviewer can truly make a in-dept review as that will mostly upset the sponsors of the forum, i find it sad that there is no headroom to grade a true quality build in the future, as the top score has been given to a empty tin can, meaning that now we can rate every empty tin can a 10 in build quality.
