OPPO UDP-203 4K / UHD Player

                                                     

                                The New Standard in Home Theatre

The OPPO UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player provides an unmatched A/V experience to home theatre enthusiasts. Drawing from over a decade's worth of experience in advanced imaging processing technology and high fidelity audio performance, the UDP-203 is the ideal source to complete the ultimate home theatre and sound room.

 

The UDP-203 features a specialized 4K UHD Blu-ray decoder SoC - the quad-core OP8591, which offers the most advanced image decoding and processing technology available for 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and user generated media formats.

 

One of the more exciting elements of the new 4K UHD format is the inclusion of high-dynamic range (HDR) video and an expanded colour range, allowing for more natural and true-to-life colours. The UDP-203 supports the HDR10 format, and it is also capable of providing an accurate conversion from HDR to SDR for older displays.

 

The UDP-203 has a premium 32-bit DAC from AKM, the AK4458VN, which is an 8-channel DAC with support for formats such as 192 kHz / 32-bit PCM and multi-channel DSD64/128 used in high-resolution lossless formats such AIFF, ALAC, APE, FLAC and WAV.

 

In addition to supporting the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround formats, the UDP-203 supports bitstreaming the latest object-based surround formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. These new formats add overhead sound effects to create a greater impression of 3D-dimensionality.

 

To keep up with the bandwidth of modern formats, the UDP-203's disc loader features an optimized laser mechanism that delivers super fast disc loading, compatibility with a wide range of optical media, and strong error detection and correction to ensure error free physical media playback.
