the Dune HD Pro One 8K Plus has upgraded hardware and 2.5" HDD/SSD internal slot (up to 5TB) compared to Zidoo Z9X Pro but the Z9X is cheaper and supports HDD up 16TB but only externally though, also for the features I think it depends on the person's preference

The amlogic soc has superior video quality to the realtek on older zidoos. Luckily Zidoo now offers a Z9X 8K version with this chipset. I had the original Z9x, recently got the pro to compare to this new Dune and the Dune has the edge in PQ over even the updated Realtek. Neither of these players are quite Oppo 205 or Pioneer LX800 pq wise but they are the next closest thing. Zidoos interface is superior to Dunes in most areas, Dune better in others. The Linux based Dune is much snappier in navigation and button response time though, but getting a Zidoo to find your network folders is much easier.
@remcohekker Ай бұрын
Good review! In my experience the Dune has top notch image quality for my 4k iso files and loads of options for displaying lower quality files. Haven't found any sollution that makes that usecase so easy. However, I wish the user interface was a little more sexy, like jellyfin or something. Also, navigating TV show episodes requires a lot of clicking. Especially when they are all still on iso files.

Do you know if these players play DTS MA bitstream audio? That r.volution package seems to look less “vintage” as he calls it. Hopefully the price is competitive as this chipset seems much better than the zidoo players currently available.

While it IS 'compatible' with Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL, it doesnt handle it properly - it fakes the TV led mode, and does not use the secondary video layer. Also be aware this a Russian product from Russia.
@pimw9805 11 күн бұрын
Yup, this device is not the best choice if you care about picture quality. Buy an Ugoos am6b plus instead, install coreelec on it, and save yourself 100-200 Euro. You'll get full Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL support that way.

ok. 64gb is nice, but what if you have a 100tb library, where does all the metadata go? internal storage? that 64gb is gonna fill sooner rather than later. can you point the device to that hdd/ssd and tell it to stora metadata there? also, does kodi run on dune hd? or is it pointless to install kodi since dune has its own scraper etc and library functions? thanks.

400 Dollars for a Device that DOESN'T Officially Support 4K Streaming Services. Yes, the Amlogic S928x is a Powerful chipset. And the NAS facility is good to have. BUT That doesn't justify the Insane Pricing. Drop it to NVIDIA Shield PRO level, and perhaps Then people will see value in a powerful Android TV Box with inbuilt NAS Bay.

Can you point me in the right direction to an external blu-ray writer, that would allow me to rip, copy, or convert my 4k movies to my hard drive, and works straight out of the box? Any help would be appreciated.
@grimmbilly9263 Ай бұрын
4K discs have protection against being copied, so a blu-ray writer right out of the box won't work. You'll have to buy a blu-ray writer that has special firmware installed. Your best bet is ebay.

You should use the built in apps on your tv for best comparability for streaming unless it's so slow you can't handle it and an external device for files.

IT is not good for streaming, it s for playing local files, from a hdd or NAS. There are not many possibilities for playing local files with Dolby Vision (All profiles) and Dolby Atmos and DTS

@@andreasepp3952 Sorry I was not expecting it to do streaming. While I mentioned WebOS, AppleTV 4K or Roku, I was thinking about streaming through Jellyfin or Plex apps over my local WAN. For instance, I built out a Dell OptiPlex as my media server/NAS. I stream using Jellyfin to my AppleTV. Over 10 years ago, I had a device from I-O Data that would stream locally my rips of DVD's or downloads at the time from newsgroups. I used Giganews(surprised they still alive and kicking) at the time. All for testing purposes mind you. This sounds like the I-O Data device, albeit that this device streams 8K.

I don't understand the stupid people who work at these companies. This product shows no value over a certified google tv box for $100ish. Did they waste their money on silly Dolby crap? My box just passes through everything to my AVR. Even my tv can process Dolby, but I don't want that, I want uncompressed, but not all software allows this. I'm currently running a Mecool MK7 plus and it allows everything. 4k streaming Netflix, prime etc. Also Kodi from the Play store, not sideloaded. Kodi is awesome I can use an external USB, NAS or shared from my PC. All snappy quick feedback, even in 4k. 4k HDR will have a half second delay while skipping in a movie playback. I've read that the shield is the only other product that can do all these things. Maybe the apple tv also.
@camixxx Ай бұрын
From my understanding Kodi doesn't support Dolby Vision from an ISO file.

It's just not for you. It is a niche product indeed, but in no way it is comparable to a crappy google tv box for $100ish

Extremely disappointed in any modern KZfaq video where there are no chapters available. If they're charging $400 for this they better hire someone with UI/UX design. This shit looks ugly and reminds me those horribly designed XBMC/Kodi addons.
