Phillips 5996 has ample no of reviews abroad, and is a gr8 player, it has high speed usb port (2.0) , only problem is as of now i am unable to find it in stock in most of the places i inquired, so waiting for product to be locally available, then u just take ur portable hdd along, plug it in and enjoy,,,
Another point to make notice is that playing high speed flash drives, gives better performance during heavy graphic scenes where at times, pixellisation may happen , many users abroad who are using div x through usb have recommended using high speed flash drives along with the player, also u need to partition ur drive using Fat 32, ntfs won't work
Thats a good point.
I am myself trying to arrange for a 250 GB HDD from my friend and do some tests of my own on 1080-pk and now Phillips 5996. However i prefer 1080-pk as it has an optical out . I dont need dts on dvd player , my av reciever will be able to handle that . But the question is has anybody on this forum already tried out a high capacity hdd with 1080-pk or 5996 ?
