To recap
The long and short of it is that if you’re not an audiophile, then there’s no reason to buy the UB900. If you are an audiophile, there’s every chance you have audio covered already, so you can save yourself the cash and select the UB700 instead: it’s every bit as competent on the visual performance front.
