Further testing confirm that DTS-MA is working but TrueHD is not. Most MKV is working fine except 1 or 2 movies. No big deal. Overall the Xtreamer meet my expectation for the first release and hopefully TrueHD will be added in near future than I would rate it at 9/10. Boot up is around 20 secs which is much faster than older generation Sigma chip which could take up to a minute.

Looks like this xtreamer and playonhd are both very similar featurewise...

For those using media player with docking station...its best to get 2.5inch hardisk rather than 3.5inch...yeah I know it cost double and current capacity goes to 500GB only.
Here is the reason, I've got a few of those..2.5 ones are much hardier...3.5 are like glass....drop a bit...hardisk kong...thats why many ppl using the hardisk 'naked' have experience with dead 3.5inch hdd. A drop of 2inch will spoil the drive.
For those insist on 3.5inch better get a Server class hdd like Hitachi Ultrastar (SATA support) as they are hardy stuff....or use WD green drives and keep it in NAS.

True lah, I have 1 unit 1TB Seagate Barracuda after transport from home to office, just kaput!

Yup, anyone has both Xtreamer & AC Ryan can share their reviews which one is better?

I just done a fan mod on the xtreamer. The original fan is faulty with grinding sound even on low fan mode. Lazy to send back for RMA. Cost to do the mod is RM 20 for 3.5" HDD cooler. Fan noise is very low and I can't hear it from 3 feet onwards. Fan set to high in the settings.

thanks for quick reply but usb 2.0 got it's transfer rate limitation which i think will causes stuttering if i play high definition movie like bluray and never do well when u want to fast forwarding or skip to the middle of a movie. i know xtreamer itself support internal sata...but i just want to know is that possible to get it work with esata, so that i can save my cost to get a larger capacity 3.5inch ext-HD rather than a same price but half of the capacity.

maybe he intend use it with USB Portable Bluray Disk drive le

External portable Bluray Drive (player)

congrats on your new toy hehe enjoy!!

I m gonna watch lots of medias during this festive break hehe 

By the way, everyone...is there anyone here getting the eTrayz?? Is it worth it to get?? I have been having this worry about keeping all my medias in my PC, one day one of my HDD is gonna fail and i will lose my precious anime collections. Been looking for external storage that has at least RAID 1.

I currently have :

HDD1 : 640Gb
HDD2 : 500Gb
HDD3 : 500Gb
HDD4 : 500Gb
HDD5 : 640Gb

Around 2.78TB all almost 90% full of Animes and 10% of Movies.

but i still need the eTrayz to manage it rite? But 2 units of 1.5Tb running raid 1 (mirroring) i still only have 1.5Tb of space lo.....guess I have to selectively keep those I wanna treasure.

Is that what u did too??

oh seagate...hm, all my drives are WDs touch wood hope it lives till i get my 1.5TBs to retire them from active duty hehe. 

my pc was never shutdown for years lol

Playback from Xtreamer, siu boh

With NFS setup, everything streamed smoothly direct from NAS, very happy with the investment   

In term of Picture slideshow, still prefer PS3.

kena pijak by elite 

just a relative la ...      my projector kacang nia, not even Full HD.  if put Full HD resolution picture, worst than VCD lol 

Hi guys,

I didn't read from page 1 but I'm wondering if this player can handle 1080p MKVs that uses High@L5.1 profile

Yeah I got a bunch of these.

Can this player handle these files smoothly?

Can do BD ISO with full BD-J menu or not?

At RM1500 it better be able to make popcorn as well. (Pun fully intended)
