By the way, passthrough is not OK, it's still PCM with Sci-Fi of the amp. simulated to 5.1.
But let's face it... the Chinese companies are just getting into the name brand game. Traditionally they have just manufactured product for other companies and haven't had to worry about their image - they would have only been forced into releasing perfect product by the name brand companies they were selling to.
So whereas a traditional namebrand company is aware of the value of waiting until a product is as near to perfect as possible, I don't think these Chinese companies have learned that lesson yet. Instead, they are happy to get a product out the door that people are willing to buy. They are currently eyeing the short-term gain rather than the long-term. Look how the RK3188T fiasco has ruined the Rockchip market right now. They could well kill the S802 market before it starts if they immediately release buggy products into the mix. How would you draw a line in the sand between early buggy products against later refined ones?
I guess I'm saying... I hope they hold back until they are properly prepared. It sounds like they are only talking a matter of weeks anyway - it's not like we're facing a Christmas deadline or anything...

See this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-gam?ref=live
Equiso is planning to launch a box with Amlogic processor in it. Not sure if it is S802 but it says Amlogic quad core A9.
They have 2 versions. 1 version with 1GB RAM/8GB ROM and 2nd version with 2GB/16GB.~Gopichand Pai

Your kinda right.... First people are always complaining to companies to hurry up and get something out the door. Well these guys are and now we want to complain about releasing it to early... bassakwards...
second all companies big and small release faulty hardware and software. My Galaxy S2 couldn't lock onto GPS to save it's life. My brand new Nexus 5 drains the battery like crazy after I take one stupid pic. These are only two items I mention of the thousands of issue still out in the market.
My only complaint right now about the AMLogic S802 is that we are getting nothing about pass through. I could care less if these manufactures put out buggy software just to get it into our hands as long as they follow through and fix stuff. Hell my MX1 just now received a decent rom, but it was for another similar product lol.
All I want is an AMLogic S802 with proper working pass through. They can work out bugs as they go especially since I've been dealing with them this whole time on my MX1.

I tend to trust what Minix says here.

I have been wondering what the hold-up is for quite some time, as the M802 has been around for quite a while in the V975M (my other half has a v3 V975M, and it is superb).
Surely there isn't much difference?
RK3288 is only round the corner too - with Pipo and Minix both looking into the SoC, AMLogic should probably be doing some sweet-talking!

Also note that the RK3288 is using a much faster GPU but still RK's stance on kernel source releases sucks and that is why I am looking at the AMLogic chips
