Finally got hold of this device..and it's been livin up to its name.
On a scale from 1 to 10 with a powerful HTPC rated at 10, I'd give this a 9.0 based strictly on its playback capabilities.
Less 0.1 point for slow browsing of contents through remote operation, another 0.1 less for limited subtitle controls, minus 0.1 for selective stuttery (very slight only - could be content issue) playback (relative to the HTPC), and the rest of the full point for lack of built-in DTS to stereo downmixer.
In any case, PQ and SQ are gorgeous when properly configured. Combines greatly with LCD, Plasma and HD CRT. For those still owning bulky Japanese surplus TVs, this device can make those 720p/1080i CRTs shine really bright. Amazing to see such a small device handle very very large files having different encodes with ease.
HTPC and NMT (Egreat in my particular case) - excellent combination for multi-room, multi-TV/user environment. Parang gusto ko pang tanggapin yung ibang trade offers with the hard drives.
