The UBP-X800M2 is Sony's audiophile-leaning 4K UHD Blu-ray player and the heavier replacement for the UBP-X800. Like the X700 it uses a TWIN HDMI architecture — main HDMI 2.0a (18 Gbps, HDR10 + Dolby Vision) plus an audio-only HDMI 1.4 for legacy receivers — but it adds CD/SACD playback and a more rigid chassis. A single coaxial S/PDIF digital output is present (no optical), and connectivity is rounded out by a single front USB and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. Power uses an IEC C8 figure-8 detachable cord into the chassis.
Audiophile-grade 4K UHD Blu-ray with twin HDMI, SACD/CD playback, coaxial S/PDIF, front USB, LAN, and IEC C8 mains.
