ZIDOO 8K Media player coming soon.

I'm crying right now

 

Main thing its coming very soon and by the looks of things worth the wait …….
Plus they maybe updating firmware addressing a few more issues poss before it lands ?

All that bothers me it comes on a thur or friday delivery so weekend tinkering with the New Toy

 

From a discussion today with Simon :

Zidoo announced to Futeko that the shipment of the first batch is imminent... but did not wish to provide a precise date.

We can just hope that "imminent shipment" for Zidoo means within 24-48 hours, and not in a week or more...

 

I hope that other dealers such as Stassen in the Netherlands will also be supplied promptly!

 

The French importer of Zidoo, announces an availability date in its store, around August 15...

 

In fact it all depends on how they come from CHINA...by plane or by boat???
The deadline will not be the same!

 

Obviously by plane! Otherwise it would take one to two months...

 

Which one? I only see the new range on futureland website for preorder

 

Hello @Markswift2003,

Do you know the real data transfer speed via Gigabit LAN? Is it higher than currently at Z9X Pro (60MB/s)?
Thanks

 

Futureland ! They are the importer of Zidoo for France.

 

@Markswift2003 Hey how is HDMI CEC doing on new boxes? Especially with AVR in between TV and Zidoo player?

I am definitely getting Zidoo Z9X 8K, this Music V8.0 player looks fantastic. I am already redoing network in my apartment.

 

Maybe not too bad tbh, the original ETA was 30 July, so perhaps it's just back to that date (and fingers crossed it's not later than that). Meanwhile I've got new FW to install on my Z2000 Pro

 

Thanks...I think this might be something I wanna try. Ill see about picking up a HDFury. the Zidoo will most likely be the only device/input I care to use this for so one of the lower end HDFury should suffice.

My AVR is a Marantz Cinema 30.
Projector is JVC RS1100
Zidoo will be a Z30...

I looked thru the guides and I believe I would follow the: Using Vertex 2 for LLDV on HDR10 TVs ??

 

I ordered in Germany at Zidoo. I am curious who gets the batch first

 

there is a nice train to Europe too

 

I use the 3000uhd for both movies/music, but this question is music focused.

Currently, connect via HDMI to Anthem 90 and stream music via local Synology/Qobuz. I use Roon and know that the new models are not yet certified.

Looking at the new devices, which is best for music? I don't require internal storage or analog playback. Will the 8000 still be the best or one of the other models will meet my use case with same performance? It sounds like the second HDMI for both 8000/z3000 is music focused?

 

You need that 2nd HDMI DSD/Audio-Only port for 2 cases:
- To get DSD output via HDMI with a matching AMP
- To split Audio (to the AMP) and Video (To the TV directly) to bypass Video format limitations inflicted by the AMP (not passing 4K. 8K, DV, HDR10+ etc).

 

Not a clue. Never tested

 

Not a clue - CEC is the work of the devil and should never be used.

Yep - Music 8 is awesome. Improvements to make, especially for large libraries (mine is over 120k and rising) but very few bugs and a paradigm shift over MP7.
