LaCie has just announced ther LaCinema Classic HD, a media server/player that can store photos, music and videos into its 1TB drive, and play them back to an HDTV via an HDMI connection.
Olive has just released the Olive 4HD, a music server that features an internal 2TB drive that can hold up to 20,000 HD audio tracks or 6,000 CD-quality songs. Olive puts a lot of premium into sound quality though, and the 4HD is specced for audiophiles, with a high resolution digital to analog converter (Texas Instruments’ 192khz, 24-bit Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC) for clear highs and lows.
Roku has announced a pair of compact network-connected media streamers, which are basically compact set-top boxes that connects the home entertainment system to the network. The Roku HD-XR tops out the range, capable of streaming HD media over the network, while the cheaper Roku SD is attractively priced, but is limited to standard-def playback.
