HDX-BD1
Long awaited successor to one of the best of the NMT players, the HDX-1000. The BD1 is now equipped with the latest Sigma 8642 chipset and boasts the ability to play Blu-Ray disks via an externally attached (USB/eSATA) drive.
The Sigma 8642 inside the HDX-BD1 is the state of the art for Media Players, it offers unbeatable decoding performance and comprehensive format support. Connectivity options here are equally good with everything we would ask for including eSATA and component video. The HDX is one of the few Media Players to offer full Blu-Ray ISO and Blu-Ray from connected drive support, including BD-Live. There is also an inbuilt Mozilla web browser and Bittorrent software.
Unlike the previous HDX, which used Syabas NMT software, this device uses an interface developed in house by HDX called 'Voir'. Unfortunately (at 17-Feb) this software is buggy. Problems have been reported with networking, colour display, UPnP. Thankfully HDX are releasing fixes at a rapid pace so all these problems should be ironed out soon.
At this early stage in this player's development we cannot offer a full opinion, the software is too beta. When the firmware is sorted out we are sure the HDX will represent one of our favourite players. It is priced competitively compared to similarly specified players and should eventually do 'everything'.

189 € is a quite unrealistic price for Europe, as it's being sold at 250 € February 25, 2010 - 09:02
