Toss in a host of smart features, and the UB9000 ticks nearly every box in the book. Not only is the player more than capable with images, it has audiophile aspirations as well, sporting high quality DACs, two-channel and 7.1-channel analogue outputs, and Hi-Res Audio support. The latter is included, despite the fact that Panasonic isn’t supporting Dolby Vision on any of its 4K TVs. The plastic and tin build, familiar on mainstream Blu-ray players, has been replaced with heavy metal and luxe design.īeyond its good looks, however, the DP-UB9000 is also the first UHD deck from Panasonic to support all key HDR flavours: vanilla HDR10, its dynamic sibling HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision. That said, beautifully made and enviably specified, this flagship 4K disc spinner is unashamedly premium. The DP-UB9000 is Panasonic’s latest flagship 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player and, after Oppo started winding down its competing devices, the new model finds itself in one of the top spots in the high-end player market.
