Looking for an usb player


I play external hard drives using Oppo BD105. It sounds best when left on all the time. Afraid that will shorten laser life. What component plays usb, has digital out, wireless remote, and will send video to a tv screen for file navigation. It must be hi res capable to 24-192 or higher. Not even sure what this type of product is called. No computers!

Thanks,

So, let me make sure I understand.  You need to put a USB drive into it and play from it?

Well if you had not mentioned HDMI I'd say almost any streamer from any brand would fit the bill.

Then you said no computers, so a Raspberry Pi 4 based solution is also no longer available. 

You have 2 choices:

Compromise on the features desired.

OR

Invent one.

No one makes a remote the navigates folders.

You need a smart phone or a computer for that.

If your Oppo does that, live with it.

 

@fmer thanks for the Hi-Fi Rose suggestion. I'll look into it.

@erik_squires yes, just play files from hard drive. If no HDMI out for a tv what are people using...a tablet?

Tried playing files via computer, spent more time fixing things than playing music. Straight into the Oppo sounded better than the 'puter/dac ever did. Using a Raspberry Pi looks another hobby.

Thanks,

OP:

I use Roon, which has phone, and laptop clients.

Several high end streamers are iPad/iPhone but not Android.

I plug the USB stick directly into my TV and use the VLC Media Player App that came with the TV to play. 

Thanks to everyone for all the info. @kota1 the Zidoo Z10 looks very promising. I will look into it more.

Thanks,

The Zidoo has a setting to upscale all video to Dolby Vision, even works with my HDR projector.
