Fast Realtek chipset, format support, component output, YAMJ movie jukebox

ACRyan PlayOn!HD (PV73100)
One of the first of the Realtek 1073 players and still one of the best specified. As usual for a Realtek, it will play a vast variety of formats very capably. Has more AV outputs than most others (digital coaxial audio, component video) and very useful side mounted USB and SD Card ports.

The newest firmware (v7.0.6 r3139) now uses Realtek SDK 3.0, making the Play!On the first (and only as of 25-Jan) player to release a Realtek SDK 3.0 firmware. Whilst still not fully addressing lossless HD-Audio, it does make one big advance that we had been waiting for in a Realtek player. Support for YAMJ is now provided, allowing for a much improved graphical method of browsing your media.

ACRyan's firmware support, and the Play!On firmware itself, are now superior to any of the other Realteks. When combined with the comprehensive connectivity it makes the ACRyan Play!On currently the best Realtek Media Player.

The POHD definitly will not passthrough HD audio! It has been removed from the website! So take care and look for another device if you have an HD receiver and want to enjoy HD audio.
