Hitting shelves in the next few months the UHP-H1 will come equipped with a range of features to differentiate their first player, including CD, DVD-Audio and SACD audio playback to single and multiple rooms, Bluetooth audio streaming, PlayStation Now streaming (you can connect up to two Dual Shock 4 controllers) and will also upscale your collection of 1080p Blu-rays to 4K.
