I’ve had 4 Vero 4K+ units for a number of years. I’ve swapped out 2 of them so far for Vero Vs. I’ve posted a couple of initial observations on this post and this post.
Overall playback has been very smooth, including testing 4K UHD full bitrate video files. A good test is how fast it respond to FF/RW commands. Note this playback testing is over HTTP leveraging the Mezzmo server and not SMB shares. The Vero V was very quick and no lags. Overall it feels much snappier than the Vero 4K+.
I tested John Wick 2 UHD full bitrate over 5ghz wireless with the Vero V including downscaling to 1080P for my monitor. Video playback was flawless. I did a lot of FF, RW and jumping. In almost every instance the result was instant. A couple of times I could get it to pause for a second or two on large consecutive jumps but playback restarted perfectly. In these couple of instances I was smashing the forward arrow 6-7 times quickly. John Wick 2 is a great stress test UHD high bitrate video.
