Released earlier this year, the UBP-X700U is an updated version of TechRadar’s choice for the best budget 4K Blu-ray player, the Sony UBP-X700. It regularly sells for $299.99, and has only once seen a discount this good, and that was during the last Prime Day sale in July.

The main difference between the Sony UBP-X700U and its predecessor is that the new model loses the built-in streaming capability that most people likely didn’t use since streaming is now a common feature on smart TVs. Like the UBP-X700U, it supports Dolby Vision and has dual HDMI outputs, one for audio and video and the other audio-only.

In our Sony UBP–X700 review, we praised the player’s “superb 4K images with punchy color, accurate and refined textures and contrast up there with the best 4K Blu-ray players.” You can basically expect the same from this updated version, which can play SACD discs in addition to Blu-rays and DVDs.

The UBP-X700U also has a USB port up front for playing files loaded on thumb drives. There’s support for the DSD, ALAC, and FLAC high-res audio formats, and it can, of course, also play regular audio CDs.
