Looks like there are some new 4K Blu-ray players coming soon!

Trying to take the place of Oppo.

Interesting.
Per the website, the X100 (https://www.reavon.com/reavon-ubr-x100) isn't what any enthusiast would consider "universal" as it doesn't support SACD or DVD-A. You have to step up to the X200 (https://www.reavon.com/reavon-ubr-x200) for that, and it's probably close to 4x the price of the Oppo 203.
Apparently this is from Zappiti.

It appears to be based on the Pioneer LX500/800 players, which Kris Deering gave a good review on.

I don't have any of those discs. What I want is a disc player that is bullet proof with 4K Blu-rays. Both my Oppo and my Panasonic UB820 have froze on discs on occasion.

These players are available now!

Point taken. On the flip side, you have to give the manufacture a thumbs up for taking the financial risk when parts are more costly and hard to come by. I wish them luck. Shame Oppo did not ride it out.

Oh, for sure. I'm very pleasantly surprised anyone saw fit to do this in 2021, it's against the current but there's still a niche market especially for the high quality type gear. I look forward to reading some reviews of these players from pro reviewers and knowledgeable users in the coming months.

Appears to have a Source Direct mode like the Oppo. So they should be good disc players for MadVR Envy owners.

Yeah, I think all you'd need to do is set 4:2:0 in this sub menu. This will give the Lumagen and Envy the opportunity to do the chroma upscaling instead.

They are oppo clones 💯

I was referring to the Resolution setting: Source Direct.
Source direct means that a HD Blu-Ray disc will be output at 1080P instead of upscaling.
Setting chroma to 4:2:0 will use 4:2:0 for 4K60 content instead of 4:2:2.
For 4K24 content, output will be either 4:2:2 or 4:4:4. If the Reavon can output 4:2:0 for 4K24 content it will be the first Blue-Ray player to do so.

Glad you caught my brain fart.

My X200 arrived late yesterday, I'm looking forward to getting it hooked up this weekend and enjoying some play time!

Having had my X100 for about 3 weeks now, I can say it's no Oppo. While playback is great this player has issues with Universal BR/4K disks. When you pause playback if you go away longer than whatever the time limit is, these disks take control of the system. They display a slowly moving picture BUT the player no longer responds to any commands from the remote other than the stop button. This puts you back to the start of the movie when you press the play button.
Secondly, Oppo had a moving "Oppo" on screen when the pause extended past whatever the time was but pushing play did work. Reavon should institute a similar feature into these players.
I can't say I'm pleased with this player at this time but if Reavon can fix these issues, then the money will be considered well spent.

Universal discs have done that on at least one other player of mine ( not sure if the Oppo 203 or the Panny UB820 ). It's usually a sign my wife took too long to pee. I'll have to check this out on my Reavon - been out of town and haven't hooked it up yet.

Finally had a chance to install my X100 last night. Same size as the Oppo 203, but a lot heavier! More playing with it tonight.

Update from Reavon -
" SACD is perfectly handled by the X-200 especially after the last update which brought:
-New OSD languages added (German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese)
-Support for HDR file playback
-New SACD option: play CD or SACD in 2Ch or 5Ch
-New Multichannel analog output settings: set size, delay and level of each speaker
-Pure Audio mode feature is now fully activated
Now for DVD Audio, we have a problem with Hybrid discs, which are the most common, but I can tell you that the problem has just been fixed and will be available soon for every users!!!!
So we’re almost great but one thing to be sure, we won’t let our customers down!!! "

did you weigh the two?

did you weigh the two?
Listed specs show the UDP-203 as 9.5 lbs, the X-100 as 13.9 lbs, so almost 50% heavier.

No - I picked up my Oppo 203 and set it aside, and then picked up the X100. The difference was noticeable without a scale. But I didn't take the time to weigh them.

And the X200 is 15 lbs. - Reavon UBR-X200 | 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player (https://www.reavon.com/reavon-ubr-x200)
