The Dorpo UHP-3003 steps above the UHP-3001 with two internal HDD storage bays, a high-performance ESS Sabre DAC, and dual HDMI outputs for simultaneous AV and audio path separation. It is designed for the enthusiast who wants a single chassis to serve as the heart of both a home cinema and a hi-fi system, delivering 8K UHD video playback alongside reference-quality analogue and digital audio output.
ESS Sabre DAC
The UHP-3003 includes an ESS Sabre DAC in place of the AKM4432 fitted in the UHP-3001. ESS Sabre DAC technology is widely recognised in the audiophile community for its low noise floor, wide dynamic range, and precise frequency response, making the UHP-3003 suitable as a dedicated analogue source component in a two-channel system alongside its home cinema capabilities.
Dual HDMI Outputs
Two HDMI outputs allow the display and audio processing to be handled independently, with one output feeding the screen and a second serving a dedicated AV processor or audio system. This configuration is particularly useful in installations where the display and amplifier are separate components or where a projector and a hi-fi processor operate in different signal chains.
Dual HDD Storage Bays
Two internal HDD storage bays provide expanded on-board capacity compared with the single bay of the UHP-3001, allowing a large local library to be maintained without external network-attached storage. The tool-free design allows drives to be installed or swapped without disassembling the chassis.
