Rather than replacing the Sony player completely, the DIY-X700 allows the original mainboard and optical drive to be transferred into a more substantial R_volution chassis with an upgraded internal power supply and installation-friendly hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the DIY-X700 particularly appealing for serious movie collectors, projection-based cinema rooms and custom AV systems where the source component matters. The Sony UBP-X700 is already known as a capable 4K disc transport, but R_volution’s approach is to give it a more audiophile-style platform with a \u003cstrong\u003elinear power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e81W oxygen-free copper toroidal transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e, upgraded regulation and premium passive components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn real-world terms, this product is for customers who care about disc playback quality, system integration and build presentation. It is not just a cosmetic case swap. The upgraded power supply architecture is designed to reduce noise and improve the quality of the signal path feeding the Sony electronics, with R_volution positioning the result as delivering stronger image precision, deeper blacks, more accurate colour and improved digital audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY upgrade kit\u003c\/strong\u003e for the Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReuses the original Sony mainboard and optical drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinear power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for digital audio and video transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e81W oxygen-free copper toroidal transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToshiba linear voltage regulator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLintec low dropout linear voltage regulator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNichicon and Nippon Chemical dedicated audio capacitors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIMA video-specific capacitors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarger IR remote\u003c\/strong\u003e with additional control buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses the same IR codes as the original Sony player\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-mount ears included\u003c\/strong\u003e for custom installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated ground connector\u003c\/strong\u003e for rack environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1m 4K HDMI cable included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU, US, UK and AU power cables included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the R_volution Chassis DIY-X700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DIY-X700 is a very specific product, but for the right customer it makes a lot of sense. Many serious cinema systems still rely on physical discs for the best and most consistent 4K movie playback. Streaming is convenient, but a well-authored UHD Blu-ray can still offer excellent picture and audio quality, especially in projection rooms where compression artefacts and weak bitrates are easier to notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sony UBP-X700 is a compact and capable disc player, but its standard chassis and power supply are built to a mainstream consumer price point. R_volution’s DIY-X700 upgrade gives that platform a far more substantial physical and electrical environment, including a linear supply and toroidal transformer. For a customer building a high-quality disc playback chain, that can be a worthwhile step toward a cleaner, more installation-ready source component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a useful product for custom installation. The included rack-mount ears, larger IR remote, same Sony IR codes and dedicated grounding connection make the upgraded player easier to integrate into a more serious AV rack or control system. That matters in premium theatre rooms where the player may be hidden away, rack-mounted and controlled through RTI, Control4, Crestron, Savant, URC or similar systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; System Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main technical advantage of the DIY-X700 is its upgraded power architecture. A linear power supply with a large toroidal transformer is typically used in higher-end AV components because it can provide a cleaner, more stable supply than a basic switching design. In a disc transport, that matters because the electronics handling video and digital audio are sensitive to noise, grounding and power quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR_volution states that the chassis is calibrated for digital audio and video transport, with the goal of improving image quality, black levels, colour accuracy, sharpness and dynamic multi-channel digital sound. For customers using a projector, large OLED or high-performance surround processor, those refinements are likely to be more meaningful than they would be in a casual TV setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DIY-X700 should be viewed as a performance and integration upgrade for an already capable Sony transport. It does not change the underlying Sony player into a completely different disc platform, but it does give the core Sony hardware a better mechanical, electrical and installation foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Ownership Advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003eDIY installation kit\u003c\/strong\u003e. R_volution describes the process as straightforward and supported by a detailed manual and video, with the user opening the original Sony unit, removing the mainboard and optical drive, then installing them into the R_volution chassis using the included ribbons and cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though R_volution says no technical skills are required, this is still a hands-on hardware conversion. Customers should be comfortable opening the original player and handling internal components carefully. For customers who are not confident with electronics assembly, having the upgrade installed by an experienced AV technician or dealer is the safer route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis DIY-X700:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upgrade chassis kit for an existing Sony UBP-X700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated home theatre rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e where UHD Blu-ray remains the preferred movie source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection systems\u003c\/strong\u003e where picture quality differences are more visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAV rack installations\u003c\/strong\u003e needing rack ears, IR control and proper grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a more substantial platform for 4K Blu-ray playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom integration projects\u003c\/strong\u003e using RTI, Control4, Crestron, Savant, URC or similar control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eClick to view full specifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e RVRX700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIY chassis and power-supply upgrade kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Power Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC 100–240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81W oxygen-free copper toroidal transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toshiba linear voltage regulator and Lintec low dropout linear voltage regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nichicon and Nippon Chemical dedicated audio capacitors, WIMA video-specific capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e IR remote using the same IR codes as the original Sony player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegration Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with IR-based integration into RTI, Control4, ProControl, Crestron, Savant, Philips Pronto, Elan, URC, Sofabaton, Tuya, SwitchBot and Logitech Harmony systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rack-mount ears included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrounding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated ground connector for rack installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e Playback 12W, standby 0.5W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–30°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Humidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30%–70%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions Without Carton:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0 x 28.23 x 7.17 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions With Carton:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49.5 x 34.0 x 20.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Without Carton:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight With Carton:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e RoHS, CE, FCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed in France, produced in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN -
