Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025

i have moved to exclusively to pioneer xd08
as the other drives are now gone

I know that the S12 and S13 series, along with some of the 212 and 213 models, used glass lenses, but I'm unable to find any definite info as to whether the XD08 uses a glass lens or a plastic lens. Do you know?

If it does use a glass lens as the others, that's great, but if it uses a plastic lens I was wondering if you notice anything different from how the UBK you used to have read discs to how the XD08 you have now reads discs?

Yes the Xd08 has a Glass Lens & the XD08EMB-S, XD08UMB-S

That's great news. Once I'm done christmas shopping for everyone else I'll have to get me one of those XD08EMB-S you sell, since I'm in Europe as well.

You will need to be fast as they are selling fast. The good news is that we have nearly secured more Pioneer stock that was being retained by Pioneer, which they are going to release soon.
