Does anyone have experience with Reavon universal disc players?


I'm looking for a nice machine to play CDs, DVDs, and maybe stream Tidal, etc.  Does anyone have recommendations?

Yes, I think the Reavon is exemplary for disc playback but lacks streaming features. The Panasonic has minimal streaming features and lacks SACD playback. I chose to go with Sony because it plays every disc (including MCH SACD), has DLNA (so you can stream Tidal or whatever using the Bubble UPNP app).

If you prefer SOA I would recommend a Zidoo UHD 5000 and connecting an outboard blueray disc drive (purchased separately), check out all the features. Note:

*Supporting external BD/DVD (unencrypted)/CD discs and CD ripping.
*Complete BD/BD3D/UHD Blu-ray menu playback and Blu-ray seamless branching playback are supported.


*TIDAL connect music streaming and high-definition online video playback are supported. DRM Widevine L1 is also supported.

SOA is "state of the art", Sony’s top disc player was in their ES line which has been discontinued. The Zidoo model I linked to has features above and beyond any disc player (or media player) I am aware of. At $1K it is about the same price as the Panasonic UB9000 but with an Android 11 OS. It is NOT a good video streamer but if you want to rip your files, store them on a drive and play them back its a beast. With Tidal is will decode MQA and play back the videos too. No disc player can do that, you would need a separate DAC.
