sa tingin ko mas mabilis ang power-up ng 500x over-all. the 300x will show the mede8er screen faster (almost immediately after turning it on) but would take longer to search for the HDD connected to it. Although compared sa Egreat malayo talaga
Thanks Von! I suddenly missed the Egreat31B. Actually, the first time I ever used a Mede8er 500x, my initial thought was that the Egreat seemed noticeably better in terms of PQ and seemed richer in SQ. I should have kept it for pure BD use. Hehehe.
You know what's strange right now, even though my AVR is totally 20th century, I actually can detect some sound signature difference when the file contains DTS and when the file has DTS-HDMA. Parang manipis ang bass kung HD audio. I thought, WoW, mala pure Hi-Fi sound pala ang dating - meaning matinis and maraming details ang tunog imbes na makalabog. Hehehe.
Thanks too Stickfighter for the clarifications.
Happy Holidays to all!
