Pioneer UDP-LX800 (2018)

This flagship universal disc player adds balanced analog outputs to the formula. Alongside a main HDMI 2.0 output for 4K HDR and a second HDMI 1.4 audio-only port, it offers coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital outputs plus a stereo analog section on both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR jacks. Note there is no 5.1/7.1 analog out — the LX800 has no surround decoders, so multichannel audio travels over HDMI only. Two USB 2.0 ports and an Ethernet jack complete the back panel.
