FANTEC S3600 Web Media Player (Full HD, MKV H.264, HDMI, eSATA, Gigabit)

Delivery:
When I held the well packaged device for the first time in my hands, I was pleasantly surprised. For such a small part ... but pretty hard. Since you can hope for good quality. Well whatever. The case is like an external hard drive enclosure by Fantec also in a black brushed surface, which is good to fingerprints. Because you can not see. However not on the top. There one also does not have rumfingern. So the Noble glossy appearance is maintained long.
Connections: A large number of connections (see description) is available on the device, and they function as they should.

Setting: When you first set the Fantec there are no problems because the menu navigation is self-explanatory. Not only beautifully packaged but also be viable.

Have connected an external hard drive via USB 3.0. All files that I have tried, have run at all.

Video: AVI, VOB and MKV without problems so no stutter or wait long if you want to access the files. Have filled half a 2TB drive.
Codecs - AC3 5.1 or DTS Digital Surround 5.1 running smoothly. So all films with a great picture and sound.
The sound comes from me or a Denon AVR 3805 Receiver - Digital Audio SPDIF Optical connector - (film and music) in DTS / AC3 ​​5.1 Dolby Surround

Music: MP3 not surprisingly, other formats I have not :) Will FLAC but still test without problems.

works really believe everything on the package described. Since I have the Fantec Media Player just two days, I'm going to try a little bit. Should this prove that a codec or format as described does not work, then I'm going this Rezi. . Change

Conclusion: A very easy to use media player of his money is more than value. / Surely the surface menu is pretty packed but with a real Media Center (ie PC with Windows 7 software can not compare) this but I've set aside because the annoying noise of my (Silent PC) led to a conflict again and again.

Fantec Web Media Player S 3600, however, has 0dB :) :)
