By far, one of the best media player that I have owned thus far.

Concur. Oppo maybe well known for its PQ and SQ quality but I still prefer a media player that has mkv and multi region, & BD ISO function.

+2, Dune media player is the best & the most value for money media player

Guys, my Dune Base is becoming slower in loading a movie! Sometimes take ages to play!
The worst is hand-shaking issue which my Optoma HD20 takes longer than usual to receive incoming signal. Not sure is Dune and Denon or Denon and Optoma configuration.
Looking forward Oppo 103 as an alternative :-)
Htkaki, can we insert smileys in this forum?? Seems like I can't find them.

are you connecting the Dune Base with many hard drives loaded with many movies at once?

Should be less than 1.8k and future proof Setting up a HTPC to show proper video levels are tricky. The other issue is frame rates. Both ATI and Nvidia cards show some issues coupled with the actual software used for playback.

So there isn't any existing video card out there suitable for HTPC? or they are but tricky to have the setup properly? What card would you recommend? thinking of setting one also...

PCs are mostly configured to show full PC levels (0-254) while video is different (16-254). Also content is mastered for video levels and is in YCbCr whereas PC works in RGB.

In that case, will hold the thought until the problem is settled. ;D Meanwhile will continue with BDP or media player then.

Pierreye might know more. U got to do some manual stuff to make it work correctly. Also u need to ensure u reduce the conversions from YCbCr to RGB and back and forth to ensure u don't lose chroma resolution. I will send him a short note asking him to join this forum.
