These Blu Ray players are all high quality and, therefore, are on the high end of the price spectrum when also discussing the best blu ray player.

Design

This sleek black HDR10 Dolby Vision Blu Ray Disc Player matches any audio and video accessories you may already own. It is 8.06 x 16.9 x 2.5 inches and just about seven pounds. It was designed with twin HDMI terminals separate and transmit A/V signals for higher sound quality. It supports high resolution audio but does not have analog audio outputs. The build quality is superb for Blu Ray discs. Overall, you will enjoy the sound with a 192-kHz/32-bit 4-DAC for high-res audio that reveals both rich and delicate tones.

Value

The Panasonic Ultra Assist Blu Ray Player is at the upper end of the spectrum for the price, compared to other Ultra HD players. This device has both Blu Ray Playback for audio and video playback, for both visual and sound enjoyment. You can also connect your home audio system to the Blu Ray for true studio master sound quality. A 4K TV is required to run these Blu Ray players at their peak performance capabilities. It does not have the Spotify music app as part of its incorporated streaming services, which is unfortunate given the sound quality.
