A.C.Ryan PlayOn!HD2 - First Realtek 1185 Media Streamer in the Wild!

AnandTech started covering the media streamer market last year. Thanks to the support of readers like you, the response has been very encouraging. Over the last few months, manufacturers have been willing to talk to us about their proposed products in advance of their launch. This has given us some opportunities to provide feedback and make a request for features that we think are indispensable.

We had already talked about A.C.Ryan's entry into the US market in our CES 2011 coverage. One of the products that was covered in the press release was the second generation PlayOn!HD streamer. The PlayOn!HD lineup was A.C.Ryan's flagship last year, but that position has been taken over by the A.C.Ryan Fluxx. However, A.C.Ryan is continuing their PlayOn!HD product lineup too. This year, we have the PlayOn!HD2 using the next generation Realtek chipset 1185DD.

A.C.Ryan was kind enough to send us a prototype in advance of the official market availability later this month. The firmware is still a bit raw, which means we will postpone the review of the core functionality to a later date. Instead, what we will be seeing today is a look at the hardware platform itself. Read on to get a look at the first Realtek 1185DD based media streamer in the wild.
