The REAVON UBR-X200 stands alone in today’s AV world as a first-class video player and universal audio disc player. It can also play almost every format from a network or from a hard disc, including DSD and FLAC.

This pair of players from newcomer Reavon succeeds brilliantly in giving the Ultra HD Blu-ray format, along with other shiny discs, a new lease on life.

The reality is that Oppo is now four years in the past and unless you are planning to buy one used – with all the risks that entails – then home cinema perfectionists should give the Reavon UBR-X200 serious scrutiny

There's no getting around the fact this deck is expensive and misses out on some features you'd want at the price, but its disc-spinning talents can't be sniffed at.

Reavon UBR-X200 serves the favorite movies with razor-sharp picture and sound quality, and also provides plenty of adjustment and connections.

The Reavon UBR-X200 will play just about any type of optical disc or audio/video file format, and it will sound wonderful through its analog audio outputs while doing so.

This flagship 4K Blu-ray player has the high-end build and finish you’d expect from a quality standalone unit, plus extensive disc playback that includes SACD. There’s no support for HDR10+ and DVD-Audio, although Reavon says an update is in the works for the latter, but otherwise this luxury deck can handle whatever you throw at it. The operation is flawless, upscaling impressive, and there’s Dolby Vision support, plus analogue outputs to keep audiophiles happy.

With the Reavon UBR-X200 player, the French manufacturer could well revive home cinema enthusiasts' interest in physical media.
