i was thinking to get myself a Oppo 103D. Darbee is good but i couldn't get use to the fine details that the video processor renders.

same here...and i think its more user friendly if i were to use it with a PC or NAS

i've tested many Android 4K box including AC Ryan 4K Veolo.... they cant really perform on very large files, large 1080p files always frame skip.... 4k files no eye see...

just got myself a OPPO UDP-203 JBed BD player.... solved all the problem.... dont have problem playing 4K file up to 65GB... i'm steaming for my NAS btw..... 12 bays currently running on CAT5e only.....

dont waste time on those android one

oppo udp203 = RM3099

Honestly...media playing part is one thing
It also depends on your display

If you are using led tv...the amount of brand to settings defer...and also the reproduction is impacted by the ambient light...and if you wear spectacles...some lenses have slight yellow tint...some has light blue tint

Then when it comes to projector...its another animal all together

In summary....its about calibration to ISF and THX standards

Again...its about personal tolerance level

If i am watching on my 150", the projector, projector screen, source, cabling and right down to room ceiling reflection and ambient lighting affects the visual output

But for my normal 60" tv which i just stream online series and other compressed media....i not as fussy

If you are not fussy and to your eyes are ok...then the next question wat file format you play most....

Why oppo? The video card is reference grade as tested by many people
The DAC and sound output is accurate

Again...if you are not going to the home cinema route....and just wanna enjoy the weekend with your loved ones....its the movie that counts...

i'm running a 9.1 setup, moving to a another house with my own AV room that is why i take all these under consideration. soon my 60" LED wouldn able to satisfy my hunger    ...looking to upgrade to projector too.

Just curious HTPC with good high end graphics card vs Single board Computer eg: Raspberry Pi and many more alternative vs HD Media Player. Can those vs HD Media Player or totally different level of video quality? Thanks

A high spec PC can used as 4K media player right?

Any good advice bro?
