Dear All,

Just starting this thread, based on interest shown by few members on purchasing the PlayOn!HD Media Player as a group buy and get some decent discount from dealer.

Regards,
Vivek Nath

P.S :- I am aware the dealer is usually on hifi too

[sgmane]

What is the duration (days, week's or month's) that you have this group buy?
Or you are looking at some total quantity say 3 or 5 or more?

 

[thomasalex]

5 nos would be a decent qty to negotiate

 

[whatzisnem]

I am totally in. Lets finalize the deal ASAP. But just make sure they give us the player with the new chipset.

Hi Vivek
I had spoken to Ragaprasad of Aquatronics. He said that he he had ordered the new lot which is some advance version. It will be available in 7 days time. asked for a good quote for a min of 5 pieces including wifi dongle and shipping.
He will be giving the quote once the new lot arrives.
So those who r in bombay and delhi need not worry.
Hope we get a good deal.

I was told by Aqtronics, Bangalore on August 3rd that ACR-PV73100P+ would be available within 10 days. So I guess they should have it by now.

I had almost zeroed in on Xtreamer, but after trawling through many forums, it looks like POHD is a slightly better and well supported unit.

what was the previous model. and what is the difference.
I call him today. it would take another 7 days for the model to be available.

 

[digitalv]

what was the previous model. and what is the difference.

The old model# is ACR-PV73100 and the new model # is ACR-PV73100P+.
ACR-PV73100P+ is available internationally since April 2010 and has an improved Realtek chipset (1073DD C+ or 1283C+) which is responsible for HD Audio decode.

 

[viveknath]

1073DD(C+) (commonly known as DD+, but DD(C+) is the official word)
TrueHD downmix and pass-through

1073DD
TrueHD downmix and pass-through core Dolby Digital 5.1

The current stock selling at retail outlets right now should already be with the new 1073DD(C+) chipset. You can identify it by looking at the serial number at the rear of the unit or on the retail box. It should end with a P+ word.

Also, the current SDK now does not identify this new C+ chip under the System Info. So even for those units with C+ chip will still display as DD instead. Once the appropriate SDK is released from Realtek, that will identify DD and C+ correctly.

If you want a new chipset 1073+ for future HD Audio pass thru feature enable (still, no promise from AC Ryan ya), pls look for below serial No. for the new chipset:
ACR-PV73100+ 37071 onward
ACR-PV73200+ 11394 onward
