Sony UBP-X800M2 (2019)

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.

Notes & Compatibility

TWIN HDMI architecture: HDMI OUT 1 is HDMI 2.0a (18 Gbps, HDR10 + Dolby Vision); HDMI OUT 2 is HDMI 1.4 audio-only for legacy AV receivers without 4K HDR passthrough. Single coaxial S/PDIF; NO optical TOSLINK on this model. NO analog audio outputs (no RCA stereo, no 7.1 RCA, no XLR). Single front USB Type-A 2.0. LAN is 10/100 BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, not Gigabit. Mains is a detachable 2-prong IEC C7-to-C8 figure-8 cord — represented here as IEC C8 (Figure-8 Inlet). Sony lists Dolby Atmos and DTS:X as bitstream out only, so both have to travel over HDMI — the coaxial jack tops out at two-channel PCM and the DD/DTS core. Bluetooth TX with LDAC is on board, so headphones can skip the cable entirely.
