EGreat EG-R1
The first non-Sigma chipped Media Player from EGreat. Now also available with an internal drive bay as the Egreat EG-R2A. Has all the usual plus points of the Realteks in that it will play almost any file very capably. Is one of the more unusual Realteks owing to it's external SATA ports. Not just eSATA, which would be unusual in itself, but full blown SATA2 connectors side mounted. It's an interesting idea and one that could be of great benefit if you value the ability to mount and dismount fast SATA2 drives quickly. There are also side-mounted USB ports, which many will find invaluable, and the full range of AV outputs.
Performance will be very good and format support comprehensive owing to the Realtek chipset. The shipped firmware is the basic stock Realtek effort but firmware updates are coming fairly regularly.
The EGreat EG-R1 is a very good player. The connection options are second to none, it is from one of the most established Media Player brands, and it uses a now proven chipset.
