Well this cant be good for sales. In regards to DTS passthrough What a waste:
Minix (Ken)
It's not true either, we can't do it when the CPU is not certified for those formats.
We have paid license fees already anyway, why don't do it if they're supported? We just can't.
Dear Ken (Minix),
Thank you for pushing my last hope in this player down the drain. Why in the name of all that is holy would Minix choose a chip-set manufacturer that doesn't support this formats????
I'm really flabbergasted and also angry right now. Minix advertises with insane specs like: 1080p 60fps support and 4K 30fps support, all types of codecs supported, H.265 hardware decoding etc. etc. etc. About 90% of all the advertising is about video playback. And now you tell me with dry eyes that the chip doesn't support the two most common mainstream movie audio-formats existing in the business??? It just like buying a Ferrari with tires that only go to 50mph and you can't change them.. I'm believing that ChrisG8 is right after all. Is anyone interested in a brand-new Plus box? Because I'm going to sell it and buy a box that will support the really simple demands I wish.. I don't want to put Minix in general in a bad light, but I do hope that people don't buy this thing anymore until Minix brings out a device that does the trick right... Deep sigh!!
