This looks really cool, I have been looking to replace my old Pinnacle Media Center for a while.

Any one know anything about this?

Thanks

No FLAC support. Not for me.

There are reviews, but they are very high level with broken English.

"Testing Conclusion:

The editor is shocked by the powerful functions of the EP6000B high definition player as its powerful HD film processing ability and the perfect playing effect of 1080P film without any tailing and blocking exist. Many manufacturer have their high definition player in the market at present time, but few can real fully support 1080P format film playing, so that this is the reason for the editor recommends EP6000B to the customs."

#2 what the heck is flac support? If that your pron collection?

free lossless audio codec. Take a wav file and compress it without losing any audio quality.

This device lets you download bittorrent files as well, but I believe it needs a SATA harddrive for this and other functionality to work.

#4 Free Lossless Audio Compression - full CD quality in a file 2/3 the size of a WAV. It's the most popular lossless format.

no RCA for analog audio? why?

This seems to be a variation of the PopCorn Hour or the Elektron EHP-606. I have the Electron I am pretty happy with it. I would rather have the USB ports on the side as well as the power switch.
I am not sure about the use of having an optical port since I only use the HDMI.

I have popcorn hour and I'm not at all happy with it. It's has worst navigation.

I'd love to see the price come down on media players like these. For what other devices do (Blueray, audio receivers, etc.), $200 with no built-in hard drive is just a bit steep for me. The WD is nice for $100, but no networking...

Also, I've stared at the back of this thing at Newegg, and can't find the composite or analog (RCA) audio ports. I guess they're hiding under a cover on the front? I realize--with a decent HDTV and receiver--you'd never use them...maybe they're migrating to a location specifically for rare use (like DV inputs)?

#10 (+#7) I looked at this...
there is a single port on the back of the unit (labeled "Video L R) that the included breakout cable plugs into. There is a pic of the cable on the last one of Newegg's photos...
The cable is a single mini-din on one end, and analog yellow-red-white on the other end.

The only thing keeping me from getting this (other than the price) is that it appears to not allow any inputs other than a PC. If I could plug a DVD player and share that it would be cool.
