ASUS O!PLAY HD2 MEDIA PLAYER INTRODUCTION

Once upon a time, storing and playing digital media was limited to the PC only. Times have changed dramatically, and with the right equipment it is now possible to enjoy music, videos and photos from anywhere in the house. Stand-alone media players are starting to become quite prevalent so it was only a matter of time before Asus jumped on board. Their O!Play HD2 media player is the first to offer USB 3.0 and it also features 3.5" HDD support, 1080p support, 7.1 channel surround sound, and is DLNA compliant. Asus has had success with everything from motherboards to sound cards to routers and beyond, so I'm eager to check out what the O!Play HD2 can offer.
