Hmm..based on this:
http://www.sigmadesigns.com/Products/selec...tion_guide.html

The SigmaChip supports only 1.2...maybe they modified it to cater for 1.3

I wonder how much is the price

it's a dune 1.0 clone.. I think using leaked Dune firmware.. (update F/W support unknown)
got 3 brands in china selling the same thing..

---

Added on January 15, 2010, 6:39 pmhello.. please check the prices before you compare.. both are different class products.. 300A is like 40% the price of this unit..

This post has been edited by ar188: Jan 15 2010, 06:39 PM

yeap its sigma chip is inferior to HDX BD1

wonder how is it compared to the NEW HDX BD1

---

Added on January 15, 2010, 6:51 pmok ok... besides the shoot-out

meaning to say might loose out to FW support..??? priced slightly above HDX BD1

so, Is it advisable to get at RM1250.00 + 10 FOC Bluray downloads

well... just one individual opinions

This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 15 2010, 06:51 PM

Not a direct clone.
Dune 1.0 have 3 USB 2.0 port with HDMI 1.3 out

of coz not 100% lor.. even the casing is different..
it'uses the same sigma chip with IDE right?

the Dune 1.0 using same chip but with SATA

sorry posted the wrong pic,

its the newer version HDMAX BD-200C( 7.1 & analog outs,) with FW upgrades
but even tho its a Dune 2.0 clone, is it worth the price?? with local Mal warranty

http://www.hd-tv.cn/views.asp?hw_id=437

how much local price?
should be region free BDP also if not mistaken..

was offered, RM1250 1 yr warranty, within one month got problem 1 to 1 replacement FOC 10 BDMV files

my selection

so when arriving for review?

reviewed few days ady, on kuro 602

ask the sales person to switch gadget to compare on and off ( me really fussy right)

got himedia, xtreamer, Dvico 6600, another one 5.1 channel ( dont know wat brand liao, but can display all cover art,) kinda like it.... only thing is for BD playback, have to select 1st file to play( is that called M2ts file) and no BD menu like

afternoon taking ori BD's and my BDP-S765 to compare

Bro..,I think its not appropriate to show the list wide open in here...better make it as a spoiler also OK.

thanks.... how to make spoiler...

done ..... got it

This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 17 2010, 12:38 PM

This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 17 2010, 01:05 PM

if can arrange foc then why u choose only 10? Fill up full mah. 2tb. Hehehe

so you are planning to get one for yourself? If you need full featured BD Java menu, can forget about 1 & 2.

belum buy ma... dont want ask so much 1st
buy then negoatiate better lor

but was advise by another forum member maybe wait few months more then decide...

---

Added on January 17, 2010, 1:14 pmwas my decision as well as other frens advice

brought a fren who has HTPC too, ( just wanna get his opinion too, as i have HTPC also) his prefrence also no4 but he havent seen HDX-BD1,
well maybe wait for bro htkaki's review shoot-out 1st (newer Chipset 8642 and more memory)



This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 17 2010, 01:14 PM

maybe dun need to buy yet, until 2years later when got hdmi1.4, usb3.0 and can play 3d bd and cost rm500.

maybe 2 years later bd only cost rm 20.

maybe 2years time 2tb hdd only rm300 and fit 60bd ie rm5 per title storage cost?.

well me..... always "impulse buying" trend... ( which i really hate ) but wat to do... human nature !!

after AV fair bought LX52, then BDP-S765... now.....

dont really think i can hold this purchase for another 3mths, i'll b very happy if they have 8642 chipset now ( maybe HDMAX BD-200C ES )

anyone interested in my Dvico 4000 w/o HDD
confession LCD kaput ady one

only entertain PM... hehe

The builtin HDD is 1G? or is typo? as 1G is very hard to find one in market also..

am i rite this is bluray player + media player combo? as im still struggling between ps3 and wdtv.. maybe i should consider this thing instead?

nice gadget tho.... but i always try to evade on non warranty gadgets !st....priority is still local warranty
its 1gb internal mem ... think for BD Live usage

yes .. bd/media combo... can really forgo the PS3 unless you really a gamer or want 3D BD player

bro ... you ipoh guy... can take you to test the set

This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 17 2010, 01:47 PM

no people selling dune in malaysia yet? as looking at its homepage http://dune-hd.com/index.php?do=players dune players seems promising

err..not so cheap..how does HDMAX BD-200C compare to the Popcorn C200?

u jumping also?

You may consider HDX BD1....

well maybe you are rite but is HDX BD1 available in malaysia already?
as long it is sigma 8642 should be good for the moment..

check his siggy.. should be early next month..

hehe..me sigma guy, actually, not decide yet what to buy, probably getting bonus mid of Feb.

buy HDD better?

Here comes the salesman

Hhahaha, just suggesting....

seriously.. have no idea how the Jagung C200 is, review seems promising

this afternoon, compared the Tomacro LimHD 330A to the HDMAX BD-200C

the winner still HDmax BD-200C ( spin a few ori BD's too, looks perfect..if not excellent!!)

guess wat took it back but forgot the remote control cant test... BANG BANG BANG


anyway, guess will be taking this back for testing too... Mede8er MED500X, 5 star rating by "mpcclub" against the 4 star of AC ryon POHD

South African Model, looks cool, BD.iso support on the way, able to display folder Art

downloaded this 11GBmkv, and converted to DVD vob excellent upscaled playback on SOny BDP-s765

shoot beyonce body figure looks like mermaid

tis only the album art, shud see the concert, very sexy

---

Added on January 19, 2010, 12:38 pmafter some serious testing, still prefer this 200C, only bad remarks is kenot house a HDD internally

anyway have ask them to check, cause the Sigma 8634 board have connectors for SATA/IDE, (if given the permission would have stripped out the casing to check ady).... shh....!! hehe hehe

will be taking the LimHD 330A (8635) to test run tonight, vs the 200C (8634) (RM100 difference only)

overall in their shop,, the 300A loose out to 200C on image depth, and clarity,
but still i have to cart it back calibrate on my LCD, cos seriously... i still prefer an internally housed HDD

but still.. think the verdict.... will settle for the 200C....hmm


This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 19 2010, 12:38 PM

HDMAX BD-200C vs HDX BD1, which one better, HDX BD1 how much ar?

Added on March 3, 2010, 11:34 pmBro, what brand and model is your center speaker, I'm also looking for a shorter in length like yours so do not need to buy a separate stand...

This post has been edited by echoesian: Mar 3 2010, 11:34 PM

PMed adi...

its Audica,
the center i'm having is actually a LCR type (left/center/right) housed into one

think (just heard) the new distributor is CMY

for me i will always prefer the BDMAX-BD200C to the HDX-BD1 eventho' the HDX has a newer chipset
BD-200C...its a complete 2in1

Guess what..... i upgraded/downgraded the FW w/o problems ( even upgraded it with the Patterson F/W) no problem too ...ah everything playing normal, except the little Display panel, dusplayed garbage characters (Patterson using different Display module)

I event went to the extent of.... upgrade/downgrade..... then SWITCHED-OFF the power, Switched Back on its running again, Phew!!

yup... will give reviews later, busy on some other things,

BTW... any Great sifu's did a comparison on the HDX 8642 sigma vs the 8634 chipset, what are the great differences...

gracias

thanks a lot for your review and info, waiting for part 2 of the hdmax bd-200c.

as they say, the more the merrier. we consumers are lucky to have so many to choose from.

Congratz!!!

so you must be Ipoh, got it so fast,

you'll simply love it

you got 10 free BDMV downloads??
post no 45

Can anybody verify whether the BD player is region free or not...

it does not need any mod
not me.... no region B bluray to test, ( dont really care as long can play region A BD's)
heard fro bro tenchivt, the set is available in PJ also,

maybe someone can test in PJ


This post has been edited by moomoos: Mar 6 2010, 05:34 PM

LOL check out amazon UK

http://uk.blu-ray.com/movies/deals.php?country=uk

It's really a good time to accumulate the region B BD at the current price

So if this player comes with region free...it's really an extra bonus

thanks great stuff,
but more or less wit Region A prices ... rite!!!

Waitng for someone to confirm whether its Region B or not,
then no worry .... can but any BD's from Amazon

This post has been edited by moomoos: Mar 6 2010, 06:00 PM

oh, thats good news.

can bro tenchivt disclose where the shop is in PJ?

tks.

This post has been edited by lightastral: Mar 7 2010, 07:32 PM

Can this BD-200C do upscaling?

yup.....

From BD-Rom and HDD playback s well

just pback a 6GB file "the code of apocalypse...and it looks "damn good"

not to mention 17gb 2012

Have checked with a seller from Ipoh on this player (thx moomoos for the contact) and he said that they have not tested any region B blu-ray disc but tested its BDMV and it won't read, so I guess it's not region free player (still need final confirmation by testing the actual region B blu-ray disc).

yup confirmed .... they are checking,

btw which bdmv is in reg B,
gracias

He didn't mention which bdmv he tested. If the player comes out to be region free, then it will be a bonus else still ok with me. Hands very itchy now to try out this player

going to get HdMax in the middle of march... replace my ac ryan..

congratz on your decision
you wont regret your investment

Hey moomoos, does your 17Gb 2012 comes with DTS-HD? I curious as to how this player handles mkv remuxed with HD Audio. The HDX-BD1 can't handle it.

This thread kinda quite lately...

The owners must be enjoying their gadget till no time to post...

if the thread is quiet means it has less problem....hehe or less user

I have yet to get mine, still waiting for COD arrangement from the seller in Ipoh

Why Ipoh? Thought you can get here somewhere near Aman Puri.

Saw this and tested in a shop in Ipoh last weekend. Quite a good player indeed.

I heard that it is a DVD shop compared to the shop in Ipoh who is specialized in HD Media player with a proper showroom, so it's just my mentality to feel more reliable to get it from them . Here's their website http://hdworld.biz/

confirmed its NOT Region Free on "B"

oh..... of course no DTS-HD la.... sorree... me snoob here
dont know much about mkv remux

you're absolutely rite.... enjoying enjoying and busy with DL'ing

haha even a 700MB 72 tenants mandarin version looks pretty good ( not bad eh;;; )

congrats congrats

haha word of mouth from elite ronaldjoe....
you bet it is.. worth every penny spent
