Pioneer UDP-LX500 (2018)

This audiophile universal disc player handles Ultra HD Blu-ray, SACD and DVD-Audio, with a rear panel built to separate audio from video.

Wired audio options include coaxial and optical S/PDIF plus an unbalanced stereo RCA analog output. Two USB 2.0 ports (front and rear) play media, and a 10/100 Ethernet jack handles networking.
