Competencies: OPPO BDP-103D vs. KBoss K9

I like to play HIFI and pursue an ultra-voiced picture quality experience. I bought an OPPO BDP-13D Blu-ray player for 5,299 yuan six months ago. However, I have been distressed by the low rate of Blu-ray discs, the update speed is too slow, and I feel like M- There are more and more PT stations that can download high-definition Blu-ray sources, such as Team. Blu-ray sources are rich in the station and the update speed is fast. After playing with Synology NAS for a while, they want to buy a Blu-ray hard disk player. Blu-ray machine supplements, used to play the latest Blu-ray movies downloaded, and then spent 1999 yuan to buy the recently opened KBoer K9.

Although AV enthusiasts already have a clearer understanding of the positioning of Blu-ray disc players and Blu-ray disc players, there are still people who often dispute their practicability, playability, and economic hardiness. Since the two have been developed so far, how have they performed in actual use? What are their respective advantages? Where are the gaps? With just two machines in hand, it's up to me to get started.

Throughout the presentation, irrelevant statements such as unpacking and packaging have been omitted, and the experience of the core link has been directly taken into account.

If not mistaken, OPPO Blu-ray disc players model from 93,95 to 103,105, then 103D, 105D maintain the mantissa "3" main attack midrange market, mantissa "5" for the high-end market strategy, corresponding to Kaiboer's K9 and Q10 products, this also makes K9 and BDP-103D contrast to some extent comparable.

Exterior

Since the BDP-103D has been maintained by a CD player, the player is familiar with the disc player's shape, clear edges and corners and smooth corners, whole body with alloy steel body, with LED display, gold-plated terminal interface, the volume is 430 × 311 × 79mm , Net weight 4.9kg weight, the whole metal sense, work is thick, solid. The slightly sloping fuselage also gives people more confidence in OPPO's components and prices.

K9 continues the appearance of the Q9 next-generation hardware, which looks somewhat similar to the shape of the OPPO HA-1 decoder, but K9's corner transition processing is more rounded and unobtrusive. K9 uses Apple aluminum alloy body, double high-gain antenna, LED display, a volume of 200 × 160 × 66 mm, net weight 0.6kg, it is compact and lightweight, hard disk storage on the hard drive (official standard without hard disk), the whole machine Up to 1.2kg in weight, there is also a certain Shendian. The K9's back terminal interface is inferior to the BDP-103D, but the overall texture is fairly good.

interface

BDP-103D has power input interface, USB 1 interface, USB 2 interface, LAN network interface, COAXIL coaxial interface, OPTICAL optical fiber interface, DIAG. interface, FL/SL/C interface, SBL interface, FR/SR/SW interface, SBR connector, RS-232C connector, IR IN connector, HDMI OUT 1 connector, HDMI OUT 2 connector, HDMI IN connector, and the front panel USB connector and MLH/HDMI IN connector.

K9 has DC IN power connector, USB 3.0 connector, USB 2.0 connector, LAN Gigabit Ethernet connector, COAXIL coaxial connector, OPTICAL optical fiber connector, CVBS composite video connector, R/L right and left channel, YPRPB component terminal, HDMI OUT connector , Built-in SATA interface, RESET reset hole.

The interface of the BDP-103D is comprehensive and rich, and the K9 retains the core interface. Both of them represent the interface volume of the mainstream Blu-ray Disc players and mainstream Blu-ray hard disk players. In terms of the richness of the interface, the BDP-103D is more “feverish” than the K9 and can accommodate more professional audio and video equipment. However, in the actual formation of a home theater, the interface of the K9 is sufficient to handle such connection screens and amplifiers. Connection requirements with audio and so on.

remote control

The BDP-103D and K9 are equipped with 50-key backlit remote controls. The BDP-103D front panel uses a wire drawing process, while the K9 uses a mirrored flow process. The BDP-103D is slightly lighter on the K9 remote control. Both are also designed to enhance the local playback experience by providing more function keys that can be controlled by one button, and highlighting the manipulation of their respective core functional modules, such as DARBEE. Technology, subtitles, audio tracks, screen share, etc. settings. Due to the backlight-type remote control, misoperation can be avoided in a dark light environment.

system

The BDP-103D uses a JAVA writing system. The UI interface is dark with faint blue light, making it very refreshing and immersive. In addition to discs, music, photo albums, movies, network sharing, and setting up of six modules, there are only a few pre-installed applications, and switching between modules and levels is extremely smooth and natural. At the same time, limited by the JAVA system, I would like to watch online video resources, but I still do not know how to install third-party applications.

K9 uses a KIUI 9.0 interface that is deeply customized based on the Android 5.1 system. After the boot is completed, the first thing that catches your eye is the extremely eye-catching background of the movie posters, such as Shawshank's Redemption, The Killer is not too cold, The Godfather, The V's Vendetta, and Roman Holidays. Well-known classic movie posters, I wonder if everyone likes the movie poster background interface like? The UI main interface only has five vector modules: local, music, mango TV, applications, and settings. It also appears to be extremely streamlined and efficient, and all applications can basically arrive at a maximum of two layers of interface switching. Because it is an open and compatible Android system, most people can quickly download and install online video and audio entertainment applications such as TV cats, Qiyi Fruit, Weiwei Live, and Xiaoy Games. Self-installing applications are rich.

Playing

The BDP-103D is an upgraded version of the BDP-103. Its emphasis is on the letter “D”, which is the “DARBEE VISUAL PRESENCE” English language, DARBEE technology, which is faintly visible on the front panel of the fuselage.

Regarding DARBEE technology, we can compare it to DOLBY in the video field. The feature of DARBEE technology is that it can comprehensively enhance image details, object depth of field and contrast of color gradation, so that the quality of the image processing is not natural. The 103D integrates the decoder with external DARBEE technology into the Blu-ray disc for the first time, which is a technological innovation that improves the user experience.

DARBEE Technology Opens to 20% Screen

Blu-ray disc play is the champion of OPPO. After the Blu-ray movie "Anti-Terrorism 24 Hours" was played, the picture appeared and it gave a new look. DARBEE enhances the quality of the image. It can achieve 0% to 120% level adjustment, and every 5% is an adjustment level. It presents two kinds of presentation effects - left and right screens and left to right scans. The blue line segmentation in the middle of the picture contrasts the effect before and after the DARBEE technology is turned on. When the operation is performed, the blue dividing line will be swept like a wiper, and the technology will have a full future.

DARBEE Technology Opens to 120% Screen

Personal experience, after the DARBEE technology is fully open to 120%, the details of the screen are more detailed and smooth, and even some Japanese photography styles or tastes are too much to be perceived. It will be difficult to see for a long time. Generally speaking, about 50% of the time, the whole picture will look more natural and natural. It is suitable for long-time movie viewing. When it is opened to 20%, the facial details and color of the characters in the movie give people the most comfortable feeling.

K9 is a product based on Q9 generation software architecture optimization and hardware configuration upgrade. In terms of configuration, K9 is upgraded to a cinema-based custom-grade eight-core smart chip and PowerVR G6110 image processor. It supports a new generation of next-generation source code audio output, and has a million-pixel filling capacity to hard-solve H.264/H.265 4K@ 60-frame video, support Blu-ray original disk ISO/BDMV, TS, M2TS and other lossless audio and video formats.

The local hard disk (external storage device) and LAN shared resources (such as NAS storage, PC-side sharing) play is K9's fist item. K9's SATA interface drive bay is equivalent to the BDP-103D's disk bay, and its local playback is also mentioned in the most eye-catching position. The poster wall function and one-click captions online downloading function still play an industry-leading level, and it is also an important function that must be mentioned.

Open Bor poster wall

Local Video Posters, Ratings and Profiles

When using a poster wall, you can access the local shared resources by opening the “local” module and import external storage device resources such as hard disks with a single key. As Kaibol, QNAP, and Synway NAS vendors optimize the underlying architecture, they can also import NAS storage, PC-side, and other LAN sharing resources in one click. Local videos imported into the poster wall will quickly capture online corresponding movie posters, watercress scores, and movie introductions. The operation process is very simple, and the query and management are also very convenient and efficient.

When the 36.1G Blu-ray BDMV format movie "The Doomsday Collapse" is played, it will enter the playback interface within 2 seconds. The entire movie screen is bright and clear, and it can clearly feel the material of the material of the pickup truck's operating dial. The dust produced by sunlight injection into the cab can be clearly identified. The viewing of the film and TV corner is like the development of the entire movie plot.

Movie caption switch

Video caption search

Subtitle position, size, and color adjustments

Kaibol's one-button captioning online download function can be said to be the best and most convenient caption adaptation function I have used and heard. When the downloaded video does not have subtitles or subtitles (especially the ones downloaded by the PT station), the subtitles in the menu bar can be selected during the playback of the video. Click the subtitles to quickly search over more than a dozen subtitle resources. Matching subtitle resources can be determined. There is no need to download external subtitles like OPPO or other players.

BDP-103D is good at disc playback, although you can connect to the LAN to play shared resources, but each time you need to confirm the level of flip, arrived to play the audio and video sources Caixing, very inconvenient.

Audio and video enthusiasts should know that the BDP-103D only supports playback of high-brightness 1080P sources, so the comparison of native video playback in various formats and resolutions below will not be successful. Let us give you a reference for the time being.

In particular, if the BDP-103D plays a shared resource, neither the remote control nor the keys on the host can perform operations such as pause, fast forward, and return. If you want to exit the current playback, press the main menu key only. Retiring to the end, it is even more difficult to use image enhancements that Blu-ray discs such as DARBEE technology have.

China TV

Mango TV

The aforementioned BDP-103D uses a JAVA write system. Therefore, except for the OPPO preinstalled software, basically I do not know where to start the installation of the application, and I do not know where to delete the application. The BDP-103D I bought was pre-installed on the WCDMA TV application. I wonder if the OPPO listened to the user's voice? However, every time you open a TV game, you need to wait for more than seven seconds. If you choose to play online, you will experience a reaction delay. This really exhausts people's patience. Compared to the K9 pre-installed Mango TV, whether it is entering the speed, video selection speed, or the richness of free video resources, the number of TVs on the BDP-103D TV behind more than a little bit.

In music playback, I selected 12 representative music file formats (ADTS, AMR, APE, FLAC, M4R, MMF, MP2, MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, MV) for playback, BDP-103D and K9. All can be easily qualified, but on the overall tuning, K9 is known for its softness, softness and softness. The pursuit is a warm style. The quality is not very high, the details are slightly blurred, and the sound is relatively flat, but there are certain Simulated taste, warm and resistant; BDP-103D tone shocked and crisp, no sense of dragging and boring, moderate warm and melodious, treble clear and beautiful, very beautiful tone, the feeling of resolving power is very good, the music is structured, accurate positioning of the instrument vocalization. Both played orchestral music has a wide sound field, full presence, and strong appeal, K9 can also automatically play the same level of music files in the folder into the playlist, alone on the sound evaluation, or BDP-103D superior.

The Open and View capabilities of the three common high-definition picture formats PNG, JPG, and GIF were tested on the BDP-103D and K9. Both can be easily handled, but the K9's open GIF is only static, while the BDP can display dynamic effects.

to sum up

Through a series of hands-on experience comparisons, the advantages of the OPPO BDP-103D Blu-ray disc player and the opener K9 Blu-ray HDD player are quite obvious. Just like the positioning of the two, a focus on Blu-ray disc playback, a focus on local hard disk playback, and Their respective areas of expertise show very good standards.

Originally thought that the OPPO Blu-ray disc can significantly exceed the open-Borrain Blu-ray disc player in terms of audio and video, but the K9's actual performance was not disappointing. The performance of the audio quality was not too far away from the BDP-103D, but K9 The video resolution, format compatibility, and third-party application installation openness and playability experience far outweigh the BDP-103D, making it ideal for use as an audio-visual enthusiast entry or daily audio-visual playback device. There is no small disc spending, and the BDP-103D is the ideal choice for Blu-ray disc collectors and Blu-ray players.

It is believed that with the popularization of optical fiber, the richness of high-definition Blu-ray sources and the maturity of hard disk playback technology, Blu-ray hard disk players will have more and more loyal fans, and Blu-ray disc players are like traditional craftsmen, tedious and Day-and-a-half, one-and-a-half acres of discs played on discs are difficult to get close to, along with high price costs.
