Pros:
I use this with Buffalo''s Pro Duo 1TB NAS with DLNA enabled so i cant comment on the included software to stream your files from. This unit is absolutely perfect. I have CAT6 wired thru out the house and ports in every room along with cable TV and phone. The unit plays all of my backed up dvd''s and streams over 30k of mp3''s flawlessly.
Cons:
GUI is a little lackluster and does not show album art and could use a better interface. This is something that could easily be corrected with a firmware update.
Comment:
Remember, this IS a wired unit. If you are going to stream to more than one room at a time, i would recommend you upgrade to a Gigabit wired backbone to be able to stream 1080p video to multiple rooms simultaneously which is great when everyone wants to watch or listen to something different. Also, if you use a Mac, invest in a NAS device with DLNA sever support. You will be able to share files and stream to all different types of devices whether it is Mac, Windows, or a standalone unit like this. The unit also updates itself without any user intervention.

Pros:
Works as advertised.
Cons:
Not really as good on Mac computers as the server software available does not allow easy access to large collections of music, or video without scrolling through long list. Of course this is a software problem not a hardware problem. It does not play Apple Lossless files.
Comment:
Useful. Need better software for mac computers. Eyeconnect and Twondy are not satisfactory as server software as they do not allow full use of the media player.

Pros:
I had a hard time setting this product up. But that was due to my network at home. I changed the router and then this product behaved like a charm.
Cons:
Trying to figure out how to play the music files one after the other automatically (like a play all button) without having to click on play each time one song ends.
Comment:
PC Nation service was excellent. I ordered before Christmas expecting the product to be delivered after Christmas. It came in two days. Outstanding!
