Conclusion
It is hard to make a conclusion about a device when you have nothing to compare it with. You have to base on your subjective opinion as the result. This time my opinion is positive. I liked the rich capabilities of the HD360W in terms of interfaces and supported formats. My only gripe is that it does not support the now-popular H.264 codec and the mkv container. Otherwise, the player offers superb functionality.
The HD360W has rather average test results. Besides the audio related problems, which are not going to be troublesome for ordinary users, it has a low speed of the wireless connection.
The HD360W is not the cheapest networked media player available, but it is superior to most other models in functionality. And we are going to test competing products soon to see how they compare in terms of performance.
Highs:
- Wide range of supported formats
- Rich selection of interfaces

Lows:
- Low speed of the Wi-Fi connection
