Dune HD Pro One 8K Plus

My next player has to be able to provide FEL, as it is now, it just another player with a newer chip.

 

Damn, if only my Cyrillic wasn't so rusty.

 

Translates on the fly just fine for me... reading now

 

Great comprehensive review!

 

Have Dune the output "USB Audio " ?

 

Is anyone going to try the Dune HD Pro One 8K Plus?? Would it be an upgrade over the Z9X Pro?

 

Watching this.

 

Apparently you need to be connected to the internet to play DV titles?

A good visual view of the box in review below. Interesting to get @Markswift2003 view - as I'm sure he will have one - when he's back from sunning himself!

 

Thanks for sharing that, look below how nice they laid out options for HDR...simple IN/OUT selection. I wish something like this would be implemented on our Z9x pros.

 

No, just as specified:
HDMI output: HDMI 2.1a up to 8Kp60 HDR / 4Kp60 Dolby Vision, experimental support for 120 Hz (up to 4Kp120)
Analog audio output: 3.5mm minijack (stereo audio)
S/PDIF output: Optical S/PDIF

 

This would be Gold, i only need VS10 for DV content.

 

Yes, indeed it seems this new Amlogic SoC is very limited for Hi-Fi audio without 2nd HDMI, coaxial or analog outputs.

 

A user on an other forum

"Mind a few things:
You get a FILEPLAYER, not a streaming box.
Are you willing to join the Firmware Rollercoaster which can take some time?
Do you just want to use a device....choose Pro Vision/Real Vision without 8K and AV1.
Do you want the latest and get all the temporary bugs for free, but will be future proof for a few years? You will complain about a few things that have to be improved, but will be a happy customer in The End."

 

Yes, and....have seen the interface?? come on, I dont think there is a comparison here...also the Zidoo still have to go FW upgrades to get polished, hopefully new FW will be due soon.... @Markswift2003 wondering how long is your sunny break Lucky you!!!

 

the interface doesn t play movies.

People complain here about bugs and firmware..this user warns for the same. So you are warned.

 

Yes, thats what I meant, maybe it was not clear, you will have same bugs with a much worse interface compared to the zidoo, which again I prefer.

 

Just be aware the R_volution 8K and Dune 8K players do not do frame packed 3D and neither have HDMI Audio Out. They were removed from my consideration list and for now will continue with my UHD5000.

 

No, of course you don't!!

Yes, of course I have

Yep, back in the world

 

Do me a favour guys - please don't post any reviews of the Dune boxes here - whilst I think it's fair to make comparisons with competitor's boxes, it's a fine line to tread and I don't think giving them free advertising is really on.

 

Fair point. As you have one how does it compare to the current Zidoo range.
