In December 2024, the Pro 8K Plus, the smallest, but with the same capabilities as its larger brothers, arrived, and its compact appearance is due to the fact that it does not have a disk drawer for SSD or HDD. It is an ideal choice for those who play over a network (e.g. from a NAS) or from external USB disks. For the latter, 1-1 USB2.0 and USB3.0 connectors are available on the right side of the device, but there is also a microSD reader here. Network playback is supported not only by its gigabit ethernet connector, but also by its WiFi 6 wireless card. Its 4-character front panel display is also suitable for displaying the exact time - synchronized from the Internet - in standby mode, and its brightness can be adjusted in several steps.
