BD Player advice - Blu-ray Forum

Carmien · 01-08-2008, 02:34 AM

I have just bought Sony's ES5300. I also have the 52" XBR5. I'm looking for a BD Player that'll do DTS-HDMA through bitstream. I'd also like profile 1.1 and firmware updates over the internet.

Recommendations? I know there are a couple of players out there that'll give me what I want. But I'm also starting to see some new players being talked about. I'd appreciate thoughts and opinions. I'm new to Blu and have time given that the PS3 tides me over...for now.

Wait a month or two. Be plenty on the market at that point.

Bitstreams both TrueHD and Dts-HD Master

Yes but that one does not give them FW updates over the internet.

Yup, the BD30 doesn't have an Ethernet port. You're better off waiting for a few months until many new players will flood the market that will be capable of bitstreaming and decoding HD audio and will have Ethernet ports for firmware upgrades or for profile 2.0.
