NeoDigits Helios X5000   

Features
The X5000 is a media player with support for DVD playback as well as streamed media over a network or via attached USB drives. It supports up to 1080p HD displays--presuming your screen can deal with that--via HDMI, although naturally you'll have to drop down to SD displays if you're using anything but the HDMI or component-video connections. It's also a network-aware player, via either its 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, or wirelessly using an 802.11b/g antenna that connects to the rear of the player. The X5000 is an UPnP-compatible player, and NeoDigits offers its own take on UPnP server software on its Web site, called NeoLink. The NeoLink application allows you to share music, photos and video to the X5000, as well as open up your bookmarks for TV-based Web surfing.

Neodigits sells the X5000 as a media player for audiophiles particularly, and with that in mind the X5000 is built from some very high-end components, including a Wolfson Audio digital-to-analog converter and a BurrBrown OpAmp, together with gold-plated audio connectors. Combine that with the 1080p-capable output (via HDMI), and you've potentially got a very potent media player, indeed.
