随着RTD1283方案新品的上市，各大论坛对Sigma Designs和Realtek两个芯片厂家对比讨论更加激烈，当然那里也不乏厂家代表的忽悠，误导消费者做出错误消费选择。那么，今天我们就来爆料一下这两家主流芯片的“潜规则”。

RTD1073和SMP8635音质对比
音质方面，SMP8635支持DTS-HD源码输出，其它解码音质也领先于RTD1073，有次世代功放的在乎音质的毫无疑问会选择SMP8635，对音源要求不高的或没有次世代功放可以选择RTD1073。但是Realtek最新出品RTD1283芯片的出现改变了这一现状，它能很好的支持次世代音频，不过现在市场上使用RTD1283芯片的播放机还偏少。

RTD1073和SMP8635画质对比
画质方面，RTD1073方案的产品虽说也都打出1080p的大旗，但实际一些低端产品只能到720p。如果需要使用超大高清投影观看，那么会发现RTD1073的1080p比SMP8635的1080p逊色不少。所以SMP8635更实用于高画质的要求，并建议在家庭影院的方案中使用。

RTD1073和SMP8635网络对比
在网络支持方面，虽然RTD1073和SMP8635都支持网络功能，支持BT下载。但由于SMP8635软硬件的原因基本上在国内产品BT下载很难实现。RTD1073相对软件方面设置简单，硬件上也有良好的支持，BT下载可以很好的实现。但Realtek在网络方面的优势不仅于此，新的RTD1283芯片还支持流行的WiFi网络，直接支持YouTube在内的大型视频网站，支持主流媒体的RSS功能。相信丰富的的网络应用也会成为用户选择Realtek的重要原因。
RTD1073和SMP8635文件格式对比

对于文件格式的支持方面，RTD1073有绝对优势，SMP8635毫无优势可言，因为RTD1073支持RMVB、RM，如果你必须要看RMVB，那么绝对要选择RTD1073方案。毕竟有些网上下载的很多资源还是使用RMVB格式，高清播放器必备的功能也不能少。
RTD1073和SMP8635DTS解码对比

在DTS解码方面，RTD1073的芯片产品基本都支持DTS软解码。而SMP8635虽然也具备软解DTS能力，但是并不是采用SMP8635的产品都支持DTS软解码，大家购买时要特别注意，不同品牌型号会有不同，如果买了SMP8635的产品没有软解DTS能力，还要自己购买解码器，就不划算了。RTD1073和RTD1283用途工艺对比

RTD1073和RTD1283虽师出同门，但是他们却是为不同用途而准备的。RTD1073定位于播放器，而RTD1283定位于硬盘式的录像机，如果仅从播放效果来看，二者没什么区别。从芯片的制作工艺来看，RTD1283采用了更先进的工艺，RTD1283是BGA封装的，而RTD1073不是。
RTD1073和RTD1283散热稳定性对比


Realtek RTD1073方案的最大瓶颈就是散热问题，高热量带来的是稳定性和可靠性也随之降低；再一个问题就是固件，就目前来看，台湾的Realtek并没有如同美国的SIGMA那样对客户开放源代码，这样RTD1073里面的BUG，还需要Realtek自己慢慢解决。
Sigma Designs 和Realtek价格对比

google translate: hehe!

With the new RTD1283 program listing of the major forums for Sigma Designs and the two chip manufacturers Realtek contrast more intense discussion, of course, there is also no lack of manufacturers representatives Huyou, misleading consumer choices consumers make mistakes. Well, today we have to broke the news about the two mainstream chips, "hidden rules."

RTD1073 and SMP8635 sound quality comparison
Sound quality, SMP8635 supports DTS-HD source output, sound quality is also ahead of other decoding RTD1073, a next-generation power amplifier cares about sound quality would no doubt choose SMP8635, or no less demanding on the next-generation audio amplifier can choose to RTD1073. However, Realtek chip, the emergence of newly published RTD1283 changed the status quo, it can well supported next-generation audio, but now on the market use RTD1283 chip players still less than normal.

RTD1073 and SMP8635-quality comparison
Quality aspects, RTD1073 Although the program's products have also played the banner of 1080p, but the actual number of low-end products only go to 720p. If you need to use super-high-definition projection watch, then 1080p will find RTD1073's a lot less than the SMP8635 of 1080p. So SMP8635 is more practical for high-quality requirements, and recommended the use of home theater program.

RTD1073 and SMP8635 Network Comparison
In the network support, although the RTD1073 and SMP8635 support network function, support BT download. However, the reasons are basically SMP8635 software and hardware products in the domestic BT download difficult to achieve. RTD1073 relatively simple to set up the software, the hardware also has good support, BT download can be a very good implementation. But the Realtek network advantages not only this, the new RTD1283 chip also supports the popular WiFi networks, including direct support for large-scale video website YouTube in support of the mainstream media, RSS capabilities. That a rich network applications will also become an important reason why users choose Realtek.
RTD1073 and SMP8635 File Format Comparison

For the file format support, RTD1073 have an absolute advantage, SMP8635 is no advantage at all, because RTD1073 supports RMVB, RM, if you have to look at RMVB, then definitely choose RTD1073 program. After all, some of the many resources online to download or use of RMVB format, high-definition player, the necessary functions less.
RTD1073 and SMP8635DTS decoding contrast

In the DTS decoder area, RTD1073 chip products basically support DTS software decoding. The SMP8635 also features soft solution although the DTS capabilities, but not with SMP8635 software products that support DTS decoding, we pay special attention to the time of purchase, different brands have different models, if the product was not bought SMP8635 software solution DTS capabilities, but also want to buy their own decoders, it uneconomical. RTD1073 and the use of technology RTD1283 Comparison

Although the division RTD1073 and RTD1283 out of the same door, but they are prepared for different purposes. RTD1073 targeted at players, but RTD1283 located in the hard disk-like video recorders, playback, if only from the point of view, no distinction between the two. From the view of the chip manufacturing process, RTD1283 using more advanced technology, RTD1283 is a BGA package, rather than RTD1073.
RTD1073 and RTD1283 thermal stability of the contrast


Realtek RTD1073 program the biggest bottleneck is the heat, high heat to bring the stability and reliability also will be reduced; Another problem is the firmware, for now, Taiwan's Realtek has not done right, as the United States, SIGMA Customers open source, such RTD1073 inside BUG, also need to Realtek themselves gradually solved.

kk, thanks

Giler kentang

how many fellows got the new dvico?

Why get Dvico?

Nowadays got so many alternatives

I am considering a PopcornHour C200

Dvico must shrink their price tag.

So competitive edi

gnsumas into media players???

I put lotsa JAV on my Xtreamer
