Actually M6600 is selling very well at Malaysia. We sold more than 100pcs per month. Mostly in AV field. We see the potential market in IT also. That is why Dvico launch this budget type of N1. With this model, we believe that most of the consumers can enjoy the quality and user friendliness of the media player also.

Hi Guys, TViX N1 just won the MPC Club recommendation award. For further details, pls see below link:

Cheers!

TViX N1 will land at Klang Valley today. For those interested, you can see the demo at Mid Valley, Low Yat Plaza and Digital Mall, P.J. Furhter details, pls log to www.ideatools.com.my
Cheers!

TViX N1 selling at RM599.00. Thanks.

Until now, none of player with Sigma 864X can handle HD Audio pass Thru, even Popcornhour C-200 also. TViX M6600N with new chipset can support with HD Audio pass thru will touch down on April. Be ready for the HD Audio with 1283+.

We have tested BD1 but HD Audio pass thru still cannot work. If you follow the mpc club forum, even popcornhour C-200 HD Audio pass thru still cannot work also, after 7 - 8 months launched. Previous HDX900 and HDX1000 was using Syabas firmware. BD1 is their flagship which they setup their own development team. Well, they will take time to familiar with the audio world.

TViX M6600N and N1 already used new + chipset. The hardware is ready and the firmware for DTS HDMA and TrueHD pass thru estimate ready by Mid of May. If you need this features, pls ask for new + chipset from our resellers.
Cheers.

Both N1+ and M6600N+ is ready with 1073+ and 1283+ in the market now. Estimate by mid or end of this month the HD Audio pass thru will be ready. Plus both of them can do smartphone or iPhone web remote control. It is worth of price.

We have brought in on early April. For N1, you can see at the serial No. show N1 Plus and it is 1073+ chipset. For M6600N+, it tells the different from the new packing. Even the Realtek SDK for + still not ready, with the experience of Dvico team, HD Audio pass thru is under testing now, expected mid May, that is another week.

Yup but it is more. Here is some more pictures:

Added on May 11, 2010, 10:54 pmIt is a big different here:
1. Xtream Web Based Remote has so many buttons, and its display exactly same as their remote control
2. Dvico web-remote can control Music Server without power-on TV. But, Xtreamer cannot do this.

For your information, Dvico will provide more functionality of Web-Remote in the next Firmware Upgrade.
iPhone users don’t need to install any software. The multi-media play just need to upgrade Firmware that can support Web-Remote functionality.
They simply click ‘Safari’ and type the wireless IP address.

Cheers!
