Its picture is anything but, though. The Sony serves up a balanced, natural and nuanced image, which displays great depth and an impressive amount of detail. It's a musical player too, with excellent timing and a fine sense of rhythm with music and movies alike.

The DP-UB is another player to throw into the mix if you're in the market for a premium machine. Nestled between the Pioneer and Cambridge in this list, the Panasonic is a feature-packed option with excellent picture and sound quality. Its menu system is a little overcomplicated, but once you've got the Panasonic set up for your particular display, it serves up an entertaining and attention-grabbing image, bursting with colour.

There's a great sense of depth and realism to 4K images that makes you sit up and take notice. Soundtracks are delivered with plenty of weight and power, which is just what you want from a premium player like this. The Pioneer just about pips it for outright musical ability, but the Panasonic DP-UB is still well worth auditioning.

Some home cinema set-ups demand a player with even more focus than the more budget-friendly machines higher up this list. At this level, premium build quality and high-grade components are par for the course, as is the attempt to bring you the best picture and sound possible. Feed the player a 4K disc and the picture that greets you is breathtaking. It paints a balanced picture, packed with sensational levels of detail.

And the Pioneer sounds as good as it looks, displaying weight, power and a fine sense of musicality and timing. There's no smart functionality, nor is there a set of multi-channel analogue outputs for legacy AV receivers, but if you've got the budget and a suitable home cinema system to play it through, this 4K Blu-ray player will blow you away. The only trouble is that the LX appears to be out of production. As such, prices are absurd.

In our experience, Grado rarely disappoints, and it's for some of the best audiophile headphones like the GSe that the company is really known. Grado claims these are the finest wooden-cased headphones it has ever made, and it's difficult to argue against that.

We're talking no-compromise audio quality. There's distinctive, unique styling, and Grado's traditional open-back design. They do leak sound, though, so we'd recommend using these headphones in the privacy of a listening room. Sonically, they're agile, involving and just great fun to listen to.

Use them with a suitably capable source and headphone amplifier, and they deliver a controlled sound, which is organised but far from routine — far-reaching dynamics and a fine sense of rhythm ensure that. They're more forgiving of bright highs than some Grado designs, yet still deliver fine levels of detail. If you can deal with the style and open-back design, then these audiophile headphones will reward you every time you put them on. Read the full Grado GSe review.

But the upside to that is a wonderfully airy, spacious soundscape that really lets the music do its thing. This is a refined and wonderfully smooth performance, but there's still enough in the way of bite to satisfy. The sound is brimming with authority, and there's a satisfying sense of weight to proceedings. It's a nicely judged balance that means they work well across a wide range of recordings.
