I have been looking for a media player to organize my media for my Matrix Elemental I and Anthem MRX 720 for months. I finally found the perfect fit.
I got the Zidoo Z10 Pro $350.00 and haven't looked back. The unit plays both video and audio flawlessly and will interface with your DAC or AVR. With a 14 TB drive (sold separate but fits into the unit) of storage, you can organize your files anyway you want. USB, HDMI and Optical outputs can be configured anyway you want. You can add apps to the unit for extra functions, like Kodi, but you're limited with the streaming apps like HBO Max and alike, the OS is Android 9. I can now turn on my Z10, find (with my remote) and play what ever content I want in any format; you can have the Z10 decode or pass through and have your DAC or AVR decode. The Z10 is invisible to the file, it just decodes the content and transports what you have selected to your DAC or AVR. If you need a Media Player to store, organize and play back into your DAC and AVR, this is the unit in would recommend. Features are added via firmware upgrades. I like to hear from other owners and would like to see the Zidoo Z10 Pro reviewed.
The downside, is the owner's manual is no help at all; you have to pretty much learn the unit by trial and error. You can't brick the unit because you can always do a factory reset. I found email support very quick and helpful. ([email protected])
P.S I have no affiliation with Zidoo; just a satisfied customer.
