BETTER THAN 4K DISK?? // ZAPPITI REFERENCE - THE BEST 4K UHD Player?

Which one I buy zeppitti reference or zidoo uhd 5000 please guide me

Now that Zappiti is gone, you should really do a follow up video of what an existing customer's options are that they may not know about. I'm assuming the player still works? What functionality is broken, if any? And if you do want to buy an existing player on the market, what to watch out for. I think way more of your viewers would appreciate that video than criticize you for not being able to tell the future. Just my 2 cents.

Avoid. Company went bankrupt. GUI gone with the company. I now own an expensive paper weight.

This or the Zidoo UHD3000?

Not sure if you ever did the side by side with the zidoo as i cannot find that video, but what is your thoughts on the zidoo vs zappiti ? looking to upgrade my zappiti 4k hdr to a new player but i think these new zappitis are highly pricced, the lowest model zappiti is £800 where as the zidoo can be had for £200 huge difference in price albiet different machines but im only looking at pq and audio with all 4k formats playable

Have they stopped making Zappiti? The website doesn’t work for me here in the US.

How do you get content on to this device. There is no where to get 4k movies on down loads. Do you have to rip each of your 4k Blu-ray disks, if so how do you do that?

Pl
Post a comparison between zido VS Zapati

I freakn love my Zappiti Pro HDR (very similar to this model)….my only complaint is— If you have a “rack mounted” system within your theater room (like I do), the drives are SO LOUD!! I absolutely could not use in the “built in” drives. I needed to move all my hard drives out of the Zappiti into a completely separate room…

Hi there
I know very little about Network Media Players
I am looking for a media player that I can playback on my tv my home videos that I have on a hard drive.
Does any of these media players have a slow motion function on their remote control?
As I would like to play some things in slow motion.
Thank you for your time

Just can’t use it with madVR envy 😢

So its a $2000 plex server, before hard drive costs? Sounds like an awful value proposition.

That 16tb limit for the price is a bummer. Especially when there are already 22tb hdd available.

The lack of ability to purchase this in the USA is a bad look for them. They've been removed from Amazon, and their USA store website links go nowhere. Sounds like a scam to me.

can you add external subtitles to a rip movie on the zappiti?

So which one…zappiti reference or zidoo Neo alpha? Understanding musical features are not equal.

But does it handle animated SSA/ASS subtitles? I watch a lot of translated animated movies with such, and my old Zappiti Pro 4K HDR could not render them at all, which was disappointing for such an expensive unit; ended up going back to my HTPC for playing my SSA/ASS subtitled media.

I'm a bit confused. Is the Zappiti just a player or is it also a ripper?

would love for you compare this and the Zidoo equivalent since I am looking into both but can't decide.

Can the Zapitti change Dolby Vision to HDR10+ format? (Like e.g. HDFury Vrroom can do)

I have a reavon 200 4 k blu ray player made by the same company as the zappiti ,could the zappiti Copy direct from it . I am not up to date with new technology and just want my dvds on hard drive .
The reavon has a RS 232 control protocol output direct to connect to a computer, can someone give me advice please

Hello USA watcher here! It would be great if you had a contact in Zappiti and could tell us what’s going on with the company all the device are Sold out and there rumors of them shutting down

I just bought a zappiti reference the other day and I swear the audio sounds better than the actual 4k UHD discs. I am blown away how good it sounds.

What do you use to rip your blu-rays? What settings do you use? Awesome videos keep it up.

If you can afford it, then its a pretty good option but I am kind of surprised a premium expense equivalent format of UHD blueray discs streaming service doesn't exist as to charge anywhere near the cost of regularly buying UHD blueray discs movies each month, it would have to be pretty high monthly fee depending how many movies on average you buy each month. Even if it cost $100 AUD per month, it would be worth it to get the best image and sound quality possible. Of course you would need pretty fast internet speeds but the bonus would be in time gained from not going out and purchasing and then uploading the movie to your system and such a service could automatically give you the option of watching a much broader selection of the latest movies possibly from around the world.

Since you have experienced UHD3000 as well, is the Zapitti OS more stable? I find my Zidoo Poster Wall crashes frequently (even after updating to the latest firmware)

Hi. I also have a server and would like to link to it rather than use Zappiti cloud but am missing a key piece of information. I have set up my movie and TV folders on my NAS and installed Docker and setup according to the instructions on the Zappiti website, but can’t see how to “link” up to it so that it uses my NAS as the server rather than the Zappiti cloud. Can you help?

I love my Zidoo UHD 3000 . I added 2 internal 4TB SSD ( 8TB of pure super fast and silent ) plus i have an external 16 TB Nas - I would love to see how it stacks up against this ...but based on your review.. i would say the Zidoo has a much better interface ..it is def smoother and slick..not to mention much less expensive too

Does it play movies and TV shows rip of 23fps to full speed at 60fps just like a blu-ray player do?

Zappiti just filed for bankruptcy 😩

Reference quality audio

Great review! I had a couple of questions about the Zappiti:
1. Do you know if the internal storage is tied together? Do I need to install both disks from the get go or are they independent and fill as you go?
2. Quick research on some forums have talked about the French arm of Zappiti is in liquidation. Have you heard anything about a buyer or if support for this product has slowed down?
3. Related to question #2, can you run the box offline? Is it required to log-in to their servers even if I have a Zappiti server setup on my Synology NAS? My concern is if I purchase this and they go under, I want to use it and not be stuck with an expensive brick because they require an on-line log-in service. It seems odd to tie the box to a log-in when non of the media actually belongs to them.

This is beautiful and I have to say your theater room is even more impressive. Adding a sub to your channel to stay up to date with all of your videos. If I may ask, what type of recliners do you have in this video in your theater room (they look so gorgeous and comfy).

Long-time Zappiti owner. The only issue I found was the occasional rip that was bad, this ended up ruining the movie experience. Have moved on to K-scape!

Great review. I wonder how it would look on my Sony 65" Oled?

Can you make a video about archiving your movie libary how did it identify the normal blueray vs the 4k blueray

Great vid! I ujse appleTV for streaming, and jriver+madVR for riped 4k content, madVR is so good for HDR tonemaping for projector, it makes my epson 9400 even more better... how is zappiti handeling HDR to SDR? Tried that? :)

For 1/10th the cost, I'll keep my pis and zidoos.
For those who have the cash to burn and want absolute plug and play, zappiti will work.

It's better to build a MadVR machine for your home theater If you have $3000 to spend on this box.

zidoo is better,Dont like zappiti online account for posters ect.

So what your saying is by default this is worse performance than a Nvidia Shield, a Nas and Plex, and only the same performance if you put the collection server on your nas by docker. Which is too much for most technical people. Nobody is going to use the internal dac either. What a waste of money. I mean it is pretty but who wants to spend thousands for something that just looks nice

i dont see the plus value vs having a plex server or a pc directly connected to ours tv with powerdvd and rip ours movies in it (cost a lot less money (almost none ) so u have more to buy 4k bluray )

Where you get that movie catalog from

Sale me a copy of your movies catalog.. where did you get all the movies from

I had the reference and it’s interface is so slow.

I've got a Zappiti Reference. Nice player but the interface is ridiculously slow to operate.

HOLY SHIT. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN?? I WANT THIS NOW AND 2 Backup systems I keep in the box in case one breaks. Does this work without an internet connection? I mean like after I have completed setup with meta data??? I want to Truely own my media. With the original 4K discs in fireproof boxes. F KALEIDESCAPE!!

Im curious how this would handle organizing TV shows.

Which one can rip and store movies?
