Fast 8643 chipset, Blu-Ray ISO with menu, full HD-Audio
Little known manufacturer, price, availability, firmware legality

Allure M3
The same player as the Egreat S2 except for the use of eSATA rather than an external full SATA port. Hardware capabilities are hugely impressive with full HD-Audio, BD-ISO, and internal SATA Blu-Ray.

The problem with this player (and several others) is in the firmware. All M3s supplied to date have used a firmware that has now been established as 'borrowed' from the Dune 3. This renders the Allure M3 impossible to sell legally in any country with copyright laws. So although there have been many high quality firmware releases for this player there is no guarantee of support in future.

BTW, just found on another site that Allure M3 is called also eGreat EG-S2 sold for US$305.00.
So it is not a mere coincidence that similarity with eGreat devices.

Looks like the same chassis of the Egreat M3xx series, same PCB color (red), same rear connectors disposition, same case, etc.... So, at last, Egreat also do players buying them OEM from some unknown factory...
