Zappiti Pro 4K HDR Cinema Edition Review by HCFR

The Zappiti Pro 4K HDR Cinema Edition review by HCFR user Olivier Arkhnaten, gives a comprehensive report on the video and audio playback performance.

Here are some excerpts of the review translated to English;

"The most surprising, however, remains the more subtle details accompanying these changes: the quality of the stamps, the gain in perception of the micro-details, and above all the overall homogeneity! (..) Even in the acoustic surges of violent action scenes with loud noise, everything is in place. There is neither projection nor aggressiveness, nor feeling of "confusion", everything remains stable, controlled in a way, in the good sense of the word. I think the work of the clock has an important role in this result. (...) This results in excellent readability, with voices, whether on films or sung in concerts, which inevitably gain in presence and clarity of understanding."

"... The second element that appeared to me is a gain in fluidity. (...) And then, as the running-in progressed, the characteristic specific to this device, the most important and the most impressive from a less point of view, began to appear: it is the absence of digital structure of the image! (...) Add to that a grain of film which becomes extremely pleasant, as if the space between each grain, where one often has the feeling that the digital artefacts are lodged, was absolutely cleaned, empty any defect. And the direct result of this effect, is a fabulous impression of relief, which would almost make believe on certain plans, that one is in 3D, with a staging of the various plans towards the depth of the image new for me and that I had previously perceived with such a presence, only in the cinema (IMAX projection in particular). Again, and without having sufficient technical knowledge to justify the visual experience regarding the technical improvements implemented by Audiocom, I nevertheless think that the implementation of the clock has a lot to do with it."

Conclusion:

"This Zappiti player prepared by Audiocom is a great success, which is worth its price if we take care to give it the installation framework for which it is intended. I very much hope that Zappiti will continue its momentum by offering resolutely premium products and service, in order to make their products even more successful, more polished, more engaging than they already are."
