What customers say about "Features"

Sony UBP-X1000ES 4k Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player

The Sony X1000ES is vastly superior to the X800, it has a 32 bit dac, better build, detachable power cord uprated power supply and sounds as good as my Sony XA5400ES for CD & SACD
I bought this to replace a Sony ES 770 that I used for SACD only. I was pleasantly surprised that this actually sounded slightly better than its predecessor.
The 4k upscale even makes my 2008 TV look a lot better. Can't wait to add a 4K TV later this year.
The interface is snappy, and support for all the latest Blu-ray formats gives you a tiny bit of future proofing.
I bought this for it’s SACD and Blu-Ray audio capabilities. The sound is excellent from this unit. Even regular cds sound better. I can hear passages that I never heard from a recording in the past.

Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player

Very pleased with my UBP-X800 I've had many Blu Ray over the years and this is the best all the features but one you could want.
Love the Bluetooth feed for headphones.
Top quality blu ray that plays everything from ultra 4K to dvds picture and sound is excellent
This player is so solid & looks very well built, lots of features
Video quality (and audio with it) great. Firing up a CD really shows off music skills as well - easily a replacement for one box hifi

What customers say about "Outputs"

Sony UBP-X1000ES 4k Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player

I inserted the HDMI, Power Plug, turned it on, Connected to WI-FI, went to setup, it told me that an update was available, so I did, then I put in a HD-DVD and I was watching in less that 20 minutes. Super easy to set-up and to get online.
The difference from the other players is that this is the premium version of the 4K players. It has a display compared to the others and the other difference is that it has a detachable power cord along with connections for a hifi system.
Only Sony can deliver this level of quality for both audio and visual....they dedicated two separate input jacks for this purpose!
The best part is that it is the only hi-end player that has a set of analog outputs.
In researching this player I found it will output multichannel SACD thru HDMI to appropriate receivers. Plus, it plays 2ch SACDs thru the audio outputs. Excellent!

Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player

Can load up a USB stick with music as well, all controlled via the app (can also control via TV).
It linked to my network immediately and, as such, provides a very reliable connection to the inbuilt apps.
Upscales all my music whether from CD or USB to an amazing quality of sound.
The ability to play any file types that you offer it from either the usb slot or over your home network is the icing on the cake for me.
Great to find 2 HDMI outputs allowing direct video to TV and audio connection to an older receiver that does not support HDR.
