The Zappiti Reference is powered by a massive toroidal power transformer, which provides superior efficiency over standard power supplies and delivers a very clean and robust power source. As a result, the Zappiti Reference provides a christal sharp picture and extreme depth of black, particularly critical in video projection systems. The flesh, sand and grass tones, very difficult to reproduce, are rendered to perfection. The materials are more detailed and the plans are more detached from the others, offering a three-dimensional aspect. Audio outputs are noise-free for more natural timbres, perfect channel balance, for perfect silence in quiet scenes and nuance breathing, and faster dynamic accents. The toroidal power transformer of the Zappiti Reference sonically ā€œalignsā€ the complex analog and digital signal into something thatā€™s properly outlined and shaped. This alignment is responsible for tighter lines and an overall more insightful listening experience.

Signature ā€¦ā€¦

The Zappiti Signature is powered by two massives R-Core power transformers with separated circuits for analog and digital, which provides superior efficiency over standard power supplies and delivers a very clean and robust power source, producing low noise and significantly lower external magnetic field interference than traditional transformers equipped with a laminated steel core. R-cores transformers offer less capactive coupling between primary and secondary (less noise getting through) than toroid transformers. They also offer better efficiency than EI cores. Sort of most of the advantages of both without the penalties of both. Finally, R-cores are more cost-effective than other types. Thanks to this high-end transformer, the Zappiti Signature provides christal sharp picture and an extreme black depth, particularly interesting in video projection. Audio outputs are noise-free for more natural timbres, perfect channel balance, perfect silence and breathing, and faster dynamic accents.

Top-notch hardware must pair with a top-notch user interface and I certainly hope Zappiti can deliver the latter.

Million Dollar question. Whoā€™s getting :sweat_smile:

My hands a bit itchy nowā€¦ lolā€¦ but will wait and seeā€¦

I heard the same as well but I believe they are looking to a newer theme next year. It was mentioned that android 9 with the upgraded ram(if I rmb correctly), boot up is 8/9secs.

Last few part that reavon boss is previous Zappiti boss :thinking:

Yes, the increase in RAM from 2GB to 4GB will probably make a difference in terms of the navigation speed. Hope this is the case. But letā€™s be frank, the same old UI with a different theme (skin) will not make the scrapping engine for movie content any better.

For Asian market where we have a large collection of some HK blockbuster titles, Zappiti scrapping engine probably wonā€™t work as well compared to Zidoo. But if your content is largely movies from Europe and North America, I believe it should be fine.

Getting the RAM size increased to 4gb should be no sweat , hardware upgrades are possible. But it there is no improvement in UI, then at that pricing it can be challenging.

That is the biggest challenge imo, an improved UI experience is what is needed from the zapitti players

Ok I watched again the whole video. Time stamp 23.55 onwards

I heard them saying 1080 HDR with Atmos for Netflix currently and looking into implementation for Netflix 4K but need to have a certain sets to be sold.

Canā€™t agree with you more on thisā€¦

Most people donā€™t buy media player for Netflix integrationā€¦most smart TV and streaming devices can do this. What we require and desire from a good media player is the ability to scrap content that helps to organise our library - i.e. music and movies with ease and of course, stellar image quality.

there are rumours that there will be an Audiocom edition released next year. that means the Signature version can still be improved upon :exploding_head:

Going through the video and from how I look at it, Iā€™ll give this a passā€¦ for the price, personally I donā€™t think itā€™s worth itā€¦

Furthermore Iā€™ve so many players now, from Oppo 205 to Xbox series X to ATV4K

Will wait again until something solid comes upā€¦
