I'm using HiMedia HD200A. Realtek 1055 based portable media player. So far so good. Able to play BD-ISO but without the menu. Bought from ccs221. Try to pm him. His sales thread at the link below:

That's what I thought also but the 1.5 year old Popcorn hour C200 claims can play 3D also? http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...3d+media+player

It support 3D by half the resolution I guess.. The SBS format.

I think most budget BD player with media player capability can play BD-ISO file. Also, can it play mkv container with HD audio such as Dolby TruHD and DTS-HDMA?

Check yourself!  For example Samsung BD-C5500, RM399.00

http://reviews.cnet.com/blu-ray-players-re...tml#reviewPage1
Like nearly every Blu-ray player available now, the BD-C5500 offers onboard decoding for both high-resolution Dolby and DTS formats. If you're looking to play back SACDs and DVD-Audios, you'll need to look to Oppo's competing players; Sony's competing BDP-S370 also offers SACD playback

Yes.. I know it's able to decode or bitstream the HD audio from blu-ray disc but you missed what I mention in my previous post..

i download new movies into my HDD and plug into the player.

but the player didn't detect the new movies. it just shows the old ones even the one i deleted. i choose the [Movie] folder la.

but it can detect the new files only inside [Media Manager] menu. why ar?
*
Did you enable the auto scan or refresh the scan after add in the new movies?

I am thinking of buying 600A.  Can it play BDISO or BDMV or BD java with full menu and smooth playback and off course with DTS-MA passthru?
*
Realtek chipset so far can't display a full BD Java menu yet.. For smooth playback and DTS-HDMA and Dolby TrueHD pass through shouldn't be a problem..

But but my old WDTV LIVE already can playback all the highest bitrate BD files thrown at it.  The reason I go for the 900A is because I wanted to try out the master audio thing.


Added on January 1, 2012, 11:48 amWhat about canon Dlsr movie files.  It still lags like hell.  Still cannot playback .ts !!!  All this playback smooth on my old WDTV LIVE.

No media player was perfect.. My Dune HD D1 also can't pass thorugh some audio to my VSX-919, some ts file was without sound but when played at HiMedia R1055 chipset based HD200A, it can played well. I guess it's just the firmware for HD900A not at its best yet

i would assume that the usb3.0 hdd is the 2.5" one (without power supply).. if it is, then should be no problem with thumbdrive too.. thx  rclxms.gif

I use my WD Passport SE with the HiMedia HD900A(1186+) and HD200A(1055+). All ok!

Thanks for the info.
I am also interested to get a Realtek 1186 player because I have MKV with DTS HDMA audio. After reading your comment, I'm now very worried. Does this audio drop out issue happen to all 1186 players?
*
I use the HD900A for more than a year already and so far I didn't experience the audio drop out issue from the BDMV or BD-ISO . Instead, my Dune HD D1 can't stream some of the HD audio from my M2TS file while HD900A can bit-stream the same file without problem..

I wonder if it's bitstream, the player supposedly to pass the unmolested signal from movie and let the AVR process it. If it's unmolested signal, how can the sigma chipset give a better sound since some sifus here do argue it's either 1 or 0 signal received and processed by the AVR..

+1 . I have try in my friend place . Bitstream sound same in Dune and Himedia . LPCM Dune sound louder.
*
I do agree the LPCM will sound different as it involve the internal DAC to convert the sound track format but bitstream processing should be done by the AVR.
