We are excited to have the first Realtek 1185DD based media player in our labs. The firmware is still in pre-release mode, and we expect to get a more consumer friendly version soon.
In addition to putting the streamer through our test suite, we also plan to evaluate it as a NAS and a DAS (USB3). The firmware already happens to have some hidden easter eggs in the form of DTS-HD MA passthrough from both M2TS and MKV containers. It remains to be seen what other surprises are in store for us in the final launch firmware. If there is something that you readers want us to test out in particular on the PlayOn!HD2, do let us know in the comments.
Stay tuned for the second part of the PlayOn!HD2 review coming up as soon as A.C.Ryan delivers us the launch firmware.

In this:http://www.acryan.com/en/specs/specsheet_playonhd2...
they talk about only "core" DTS. So what's the real life experience with this DTS HD MA story. And what about the mini, his passthrough capability is the same as his HD2 brother's ?
Thank you!
