Fast chipset, cheap
No DTS downmix

Sumvision Cyclone MKV
Very cheap player that uses the Realtek 1073 chip. There is also a later HDD version with the same name: Sumvision Cyclone Enclosure.

There are two versions of both Sumvision Cyclone MKVs, one with DTS downmix and one without. As far as we can tell it is impossible to distinguish between the two externally. Both case designs come in new and old versions. We therefore recommend you get confirmation of the version from your retailer before purchase.

Firmware updates have been regular with recent additions such as BD-ISO and HD interface. Performance is the usual very good for a Realtek 1073.

The various versions of this player and the lack of a working firmware update on the Sumvision site make us a bit wary. However, with or without DTS, it is internally the same as all the other Realteks so as long as the firmware is kept up to date it is a good machine at a great price.
