I didn't see this firmware on the list of officially supported firmware versions, either. Here's the info panel:

It doesn't mention supporting UHD, but perhaps like many other Pioneer drives it could do with a firmware flash?

Or, if anybody could sell me a BDR-X13 which is what I was really hoping for, I would be most grateful. Was holding off purchasing one until MakeMKV/LibreDrive supported them but now of course there appear to be none on the open market at all.

Hmm. It's rather difficult to justify the purchase not knowing whether it will actually work for UHD or not, on the other hand it's sure to sell out soon if I wait. What a gamble.
