Pioneer UDP-LX800: mechanics
A normal CD runs a maximum of 500 laps per minute, but a UHD Blu-ray disc can run up to 5,000 revolutions per minute. This therefore requires a reliable and vibration-free running gear. Pioneer has divided the UDP-LX800 into three separate sections so that vibration as well as electromagnetic interference is kept to a minimum. The steel top plate is one millimeter thick. The bottom plate is three millimeters thick and together with the aluminum side plates the whole provides a stable cupboard. There are no holes or grids in the top or sides. The advantage is that no dust can enter the cabinet and no running noise from the cabinet.
The running gear is placed in a honeycomb frame finished with anti-vibration paint. Load mechanism and running gear have a suspended suspension. The UDP-LX800 weighs 13.8 kilograms. The user only hears the music and not the player, according to Pioneer.
Pioneer UDP-LX800: electronics
All parts have been carefully selected and tested before they could become part of the UDP-LX800. The power supply transformer is heavy and shielded by a copper-plated steel housing. The motherboard is designed for the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio. The analogue circuits are derived from the PD-70AE SACD/CD Player the flagship of Pioneer when it comes to playing audio discs. The new UDP-LX800 also has two eight-channel dac chips on board of the type ES9026PRO.
The UDP-LX-800 can also be put into running mode when using an HDMI output. In this case, all analog electronics are switched off. The HDMI signal should benefit from that according to Pioneer. It is also possible to optimize the UDP-LX800 for sound reproduction. In the “Direct Function” mode, all the picture circuits are switched off and the display of the CDs and CDs should benefit from this.

There are four preferred settings for the most common types of displays (including “LCD TV,” OLED TV “and” Projector “) with automatic detection of SDR / HDR signal.
