Very few details available (esp. if you don't read Japanese :) ) but Teac are finally releasing a VRDS based universal player called the UX-1 (under their "Esoteric" brand). Their much praised Esoteric DV-50 universal player doesn't have a VRDS mechanism. Found a pic of it here: [img]http://www.avbuzz.com/bbs/av/uploads2/031002233710.JPG[/img] Cost in Japan is 1.25 million Yen so it's not cheap :eek: Michael.
