OK, the eBench KH 6777 I acquired yesterday most certainly *does* play MP3s
from the root (doing it right this moment). Won't look at a DVD+RW with Mp3s
on it though! In fact, I'm trying to disregard a certain amount of
'honeymoon euphoria' with this machine - atm it's appearing to be the best
spinner I've heard since Nick Gorham's NuVista (the only CDP that I've heard
to date with any real 'tone' or 'weight')!


It does have bizarrely good CD playback doesn't it. I've just hooked it
up to my WAD Kel 84 and it's giving my Planet 2000 a run for its money.
Odd. I'm in a bit of a honeymoon period with it too - though its failure
to read a DVD-R of mp3s has relegated it to DVD duties only (I have an
EM8500 based dvd player which plays mp3, wma and ogg from dvd-r!)

Only issue I have with the KH6777 is that the PAL progressive output is
slightly left shifted resulting in a narrow (5 pixel width) black line
at the right edge of the screen with anamorphic material. Mind you it's
a small price to pay for real 576p!
