D-Link DSM-320

 

Better than a stotty? Ahhhh the rhetorical question, perhaps comparing the all in one streaming media centre from D-Link to a Northern bread product is a little weird but hey that's what you expect from us!

D-Link - DSM-320

 

Networking company D-Link has come up with a networked product that crosses over from the world of wireless networking into the Audio Visual arena. The DSM-320 Wireless Media Player is such an unusual product that D-Link ...

D-Link has broken new ground with the DSM-320, and while it's not perfect we feel that most of the faults could be corrected with firmware updates over the coming months. If you own 802.11g hardware and want to stream media from your PC to your TV then...

Expert Review

 

A good player for newcomers to the media streamer scene, the DSM-320RD doesn't do anything special, but does do a respectable job of streaming video and audio.

Not overly complex, relatively easy to use

No HDMI, some image noise in DVD playback, some compatibility problems with today's file types

D-Link DSM-320

 

Space efficient, plays music and displays photos well

Buggy software, difficult for a novice to set up, poor video playback

The D-Link is not yet suitable for the home entertainment buff who wants a plug-and-play device that will deliver streaming audio, pictures and video without fuss.

D-Link MediaLounge review

 

Review summary Fresh off the heels of a major upgrade, D-Link's MediaLounge DSM-320 is among the first digital media receivers capable of wirelessly streaming rights-managed (DRM) audio files, such as those purchased from the Musicmatch or Napster...

Affordable; streams music, photos, and video; compatible with DRM WMA files downloaded from online music stores; compatible with Rhapsody subscription streaming music service; works with Windows Media Connect server; component-video output; optical and...

Finicky wireless connectivity with non-D-Link routers; lacks front-panel display and controls; doesn't display album artwork; not compatible with files purchased from iTunes Music Store; not Mac compatible.

It's one of the first digital media receivers capable of playing tracks purchased from online music stores, but the DSM-320's wireless performance left us wanting more.

D-Link MediaLounge DSM-320

 

The D-Link MediaLounge DSM-320 is an affordable digital media hub that has fixed some of its early kinks.

Wired and wireless (802.11g). Low price. Internet radio support. Easy setup.

Some minor glitches remain.

D-Link DSM-320 Wireless Media Player

 

This is a superior digital media receiver with the right kind of wireless support (802.11g).

If you don't need HD photo/video output (look at Roku media receivers if you do) and you're confident D-Link will fix some of the obvious usability issues, the DSM-320 is just about as good as it gets, especially if you can buy it at its street price....

D-Link DSM-320RD Wireless Media Player

 

The DSM-320RD is a simple media streamer that's definitely a touch dated, but worthwhile if your needs are only very modest -- or if you need a spare DVD player.

Simple setup routine ; Embedded DVD player

May not fit in some more slender cabinets ; No HDMI/DVI

There's no doubt that there are newer and technically more polished and capable players on the market than the DSM-320RD. It's pretty clearly a unit that's best suited to streaming novices whose needs are small.
