Hello,
After having experienced ripping failures of 4K discs using the LG BH16NS55 drive and MakeMKV with most of the latest 4K releases I bought, I really became desperate, especially in view of other fellows who were struggling with the same problems (see for example
viewtopic.php?t=28146 and
viewtopic.php?t=26155). The solution was near, when I found the "Ultimate UHD drives flashing guide" (
viewtopic.php?p=74718#p74718). So, I contacted Asmcom and promptly received an offer, which did leave nothing to be desired. I was provided with infos and guides covering all the questions one can have. I ordered the cross-flashed Pioneer BDR-S12XLT and received it in no time perfectly packaged. To my surprise EVERY 4K disc which wasn't rippable with the LG drive before, now could be ripped without any problem, just flawless!
Asmcom is open to special requests too: Since I was so enthusiastic about my purchase of the Pioneer drive, I wanted another one. So, I asked for a specific Pioneer drive they didn't list in their range of products. Consequently, to my delight, I immediately was offered this drive, and not least fairly priced.
All in all, Asmcom is terrific in every respect! Many thanks!
Daniel
