EGreat EG-M34A
Another Sigma 8635 (Popcorn Hour A-110 alike) player. The EG-M34A is well regarded for it's wide format support and committed online technical support. Is an NMT so benefits from Syabas software. Suffers from a slow user interface as with all the 8635 machines.
The big selling point of this player is the comprehensive HD-Audio support. As of February 2010 it still has better HD-Audio coverage (e.g. both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA passthrough) than anything else in it's price range. This despite it being almost two years old.
The EG-M34A is a mature, capable product with still unmatched HD-Audio capabilities.

apart from sigma 8635 chipset there is nothing bad in this. why it is rated at 2? I don't see much or equal capable player than this at this price point. DTS-HD MA pass through itself should get full rating!! what do you say iboum? February 09, 2010 - 14:21
I say that you may have a point. January 12, 2010 - 15:23
It isn't a disk enclosure - there's no space inside, HDD is supposed to be connected externally. Leave a Comment

Detailed Specification

Recently whilst we've been sorting out HD-Audio and improving the ranking system it has become apparent that this player is good value at it's price. We've always been very reluctant to recommend the Sigma 8635 players but for HD-Audio there is still nothing to compete. The rating will be shifted up to 3*, at least until the newer players sort themselves out..| All trademarks and copyrights are the property of their respective owners.
