sir ano mas maganda image quality? yung popcorn hour or egreat? thanks.
Let me do a comparison, not just IQ
I have R200(Realtek), S800(Sigma) and PCH C-200(Sigma)
Speed
1. R200
2. S800
3. PCH C-200
IQ
PCH C-200 is a little better to almost equal to R200 and S800. Cant really see the difference, you need to really focus on details. S800 is too Vivid to my taste. I need to adjust the color setting of my TV. Others love the vividness of the S800 though. My IQ test are the 3 Road Runner short videos. Stunning animation, color and good for testing.
SQ on Music FLAC's/MP3
1. PCH C-200
2. S800
3. R200
SQ on Movies
Cant really see the difference when playing movies because of all those booms and bangs..But overall for me, these 3 are great for watching movies SQ wise. I guess SQ result will depend on the HT Speakers and amp that you have, because my Yamaha setup is better than my HK setup when it comes to SQ on movies using same NMT.
Stable(who is the most stable with less or no issues encountered)
1. R200(Played with no problems files in my collection(MKV, AVI, MP4, FLV, M2TS, WMV..etc. I haven't tested 3gp though)
2. S800
3. PCH - C200
Features
Cant compare R200 to both S800 and PCH because it uses different chipset.
Between S800 and PCH C-200, The S800 has more configuration options than the PCH-C200. The PCH-C200 has NMJ. RF remote of the PCH C-200 is a plus. Kahit di mo i point sa NMT ok pa din. Minsan with S800 and R200 kelangan naka point talaga to work.
Built
All three are nicely built, with Thick aluminum casing, compared to other NMT's that i saw and tested. I love the External SATA of egreats. Built of remote is not cheap like. Maganda ang Illuminated remote nang S800 and PCH
Looks
1. PCH-C200 ganda nang LCD Panel
2. R200
3. S800 - maganda sana kung black
Support
For Egreat, Jim really helps a lot in supporting his customer. He even forwarded to me his communication with egreat support on some of my questions.
For PCH, Online update is cool. Also even if i bought my Unit in the US. I just registered it to the site and a tech is talking to me daily on some of my concerns. The person updates me daily.
Hope this helps..
