So this is basically a universal player, "comparable" to the Oppo? If so, why don't we all have one? I gathered the superior customer service of Oppo vs. Sony, but for a fraction of the cost....it seems almost too good to be true. What am I missing?

In my tests, the only burned discs that it will not play are SACD and DVD-AUDIO. It plays burned CD, DVD-VIDEO, BLU-RAY and DATA discs.

Oppo is far superior to any brand in my mind. In this world you get what you pay for. Bottom line.

The X700 is much more cheaply made although it supposedly is supposed to get Dolby Vision in an update. It is actually a downgrade
hey Snoody, my brother just bought the X700 and it does indeed do Dolby Vision after fw update.
the machine is pretty cheap looking and feels cheap too, the remote is tiny and buttons feel kinda cluttered in the hand, the disc loading tray doesnt look like it could stand much abuse, plus the paucity of connections round the back was kind of a shock to a "cable guy" like me.. the OSD of menu overlays has a fuzzy quality to it relative to the razor sharp images (thats a personal pet peeve, not important really I guess) but.. reality check, its bloody cheap AND above all the picture quality of several UHD BD's he picked up (Equalizer, T2, Kingsmen 2) thru his 4K Sony telly (model escapes me right now, I'll ask him later) was absolutely spectacular..!! i literally ran out of superlatives to yell out as we watched scene after scene after scene of just jaw-droppingly incredible looking video, detail levels were astounding, colour pop just right, depth to the image spot on, light effects and glass and stuff with the HDR, oh man... I WANT ONE NOW.. uh oh, another reality check = i really need a better spec machine. despite the mesmerising PQ, I just can't live with a machine that's that stripped back in terms of connections, plus DVD-A is a must and although I didn't test it, afaik it can't handle DVD-A? anyway if DVD-A playback is not important and someone wants to get into UHD BD on the cheap but with really great (i mean, great!) (did i mention? its really great!) picture quality, I guess it will tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people.
You're just gonna have to hustle up an OPPO, partner. They're scarce as Hen's Teeth but play everything.......It's Time!
