If you are in the market for a high-end media streamer or server, we think you should give the Helios X5000 a try.


Highs: Exceptional audio performance; firmware upgradeable; attractive; versatile

Lows: Does not support SACD or DVD Audio; poor remote response; slow boot times

Introduction

The NeoDigits X5000 DVD player outsmarts the competition by adding media streaming capabilities through either WiFi or Ethernet. That’s right, this DVD player will not only play your favorite DVDs, but it will also wirelessly connect to your home PC to play movies and music through your home theater. Now this is not really something new in theory, there have been other DVD players that do this (KiSS, Gateway), but the NeoDigits X5000 has some features that differentiate it from the others; audiophile circuitry. The X5000 has a sticker price of just $599. Read our full review here.
