Dune HD Solo 8K, Media Player, Android Box

Expensive, but worth it. Native ISO playback is excellent. Media scraper is mostly very accurate. Solid hardware.

I got tired of firesticks and roku sticks with their limitations streaming media from my NAS using Plex. I decided to try this as it has an internal bay for a 3.5" HDD. I have around 3000 titles which took a while to transfer from the NAS onto a 24TB drive which was recognized even though the specs mention a max of 20TB. I do like the UI but the firmware had a lot of quirks and some significant limitations which were mostly mitigated with the new alpha firmware release. The features which I wanted were available in this firmware, so I took a chance even though it wasn't the official stable release. Seems like the company listened to its users and provided a way to passthrough HDR without prioritizing Dolby Vision. It now also allows you to use local nfo files for content that cannot be matched. The most unique upgrade is the ability to output raw interlaced SD files for those who want to use external processing like to a Retrotink 4K Pro. However, it is fairly capable of doing its own deinterlacing since it supports 3:2 pulldown and IVTC processing. Honestly, I do not see much difference between the processed output from the Dune vs the Retrotink. I'm hopeful for more feature enhancements when the alpha firmware finally moves to the status of a stable release. The remote is bluetooth and backlit so no line-of-sight issues. The size is perfect and has most of the features compared to the more expensive larger cousins.

I need it just for my huge movie's collection in all kind of formats, mkv, mp4, avi, included blu-ray iso format and folder format. I like have a PC with a beautiful interface and silence, easy to use. All connected wired cable.

I have been using this item for about 3 months, got it when my Dune HD Pro Vision 4K Solo got fried from a power surge, I thought it would be a nice upgrade, but this unit cannot do many things that the 4K Solo could. anyone buying this as a first Dune should be happy, but as a upgrade you will know that Dune HD can do so much better. I believe most of the problems with this unit will be fixed one day with a firmware update, but until them I will not be happy with this model. I will update if they fix some of the problems. which are really a lot of small fixes but to many to ignore. I may just try to find another Dune 4k and replace this one as it is not quite the same quality.

I have 4 Nvidia shields This is a better machine but the cost is way to high.

Outstanding picture quality and sound quality

Does not receive local channels like KTLA and others. Wants payment for half of the channels . Pure junk.

I love this and for the price it is good. If your looking for more bells get the big flagship. worth every penny. I swear by this wonderful company.

Super, bon produit juste un peut cher

Snelle levering in goede verpakking. Het apparaat werkt geweldig. Aansluiten ging erg vlot en makkelijk. Alles wijst zichzelf. Inzetten van de harde schijf ging zonder problemen. Na scannen van de bronnen heb je een mooi overzicht van de aanwezige content via een visueel aantrekkelijk scherm. De beeld en geluidskwaliteit zijn erg goed. Het is makkelijk navigeren. Erg blij mee.

Fantastisk helt enkelt, gör allt jag letat efter och lite till!

Following the sad loss of my wife to cancer last year I decided to have a complete change to the lounge so setup a state of the art home cinema system as Diane would not allow speakers all over the place. Part of the project meant moving my rather large home built Home Theatre PC into the lounge but had concerns with it being Windows 7 and running Media Portal that the new video 4k video card would have issues finding a suitable driver. I wished something existed that could read my 4tb attached hard drive but superior quality to my current T95 box. I tried the NVIDIA SHIELD but found it bloated and very limited, I then came across this and all my prayers have been answered. I just want it to handle my film and music collection and all this is copying over to my hard drive as I type. Once done I will be able to install the drive into the Dune and through the box settings add my film collection, sorted. So easy so far and trying 8k YouTube content I was extremely impressed with the sound and picture quality. I did have one issue, once booted the box up for the first time the remote refused to connect when holding the correct two buttons for 3 seconds, I was getting nowhere for half an hour, changing the batteries fixed the problem but that may have been coincidence as the box may have still being initialising and just needed a bit of time. I did a manual installation adding my broadband via WiFi and the box connected easily, it then initiated a firmware update which took 10 minutes, moments later the Bluetooth remote also wanted to update and that took seconds. If you want a superb bit of kit to handle your large film and music collection then go for this it really is the right thing. It's robust, well made and looks really good. I connected HDMI to the amp and the phono outputs to my music sockets on my amp, probably didn't need to do both but just felt sound may be better if music was sent by dedicated source such as the phono outputs. I have never been so happy with a purchase as much as this, it's incredible. Footnote; Sampled my first video from box to my Dolby Surround amp and it had to be Blade Runner, brilliant, absolutely brilliant, better than the cinema with all my home comforts. Only gripe is movement sensor or neutral button to light up backlit remote would be nice. tj
