I have ordered one of the Pipo X7 units but it will take a while getting to me here in the UK. In the meantime, I haven't found any tests of the X7, but there is a thread or two about it over on the Freaktab forum where at least one guy has now got hold of one for testing.One of the guys on FreakTab has got the Pipo X7 and has been reviewing it here, have you received yours yet Malcolm?
My hope is to run the X7 in dual boot, booting (a) to the installed Windows to run Kodi and powerdvd as an external player to support 3D iso, and (b) booting to Openelec on a USB drive for non-3D playback.
Can anyone confirm that the 3736F chip can do 3D MVC playback under Windows? I am assuming it can, but haven't been able to see this confirmed anywhere.

I don't know if it applies to all devices but going by this thread on here (post #19) there shouldn't be a problem with HD Audio bitstreaming on this chip.
Post 19 on that link shows it wont do HD audio in Windows which is a shame, I hope I can get openelec on my PIPO x7 (when it turns up) and it will do HD audio then. I think it may have problems getting openelec onto this device though as it has a 32 bit UEFI BIOS from the early reviews ive seen.
