Web services are among the many advantages highlighted by AC Ryan for its next generation media centres. We don't entirely share this enthusiasm. First of all, all these applications are particularly heavy and slow to load. Using them often also requir...
 Multimedia decoding, Nice interface, High performance, welldesigned multimedia jukebox, Network playback, SDHC reader / USB 3.0...
 Low network speeds when copying files, Browser sometimes slows down, Web services poorly thought out and too heavy, Audio part needs improvement, Remote a bit cheap looking...
 A very good media centre that will delight those wanting to playback video files easily and effectively. Compatibility is excellent and the jukebox impressive. It doesn't get a 5-star rating because the audio side could be considerably improved...

Het heeft even geduurd, maar daar is hij dan: de opvolger van de mateloos populaire PlayON HD. En de naam: PlayON HD2. Simpel en doeltreffend. Toch?De HD2 ziet er anders uit aan de buitenkant. Het zijn echter geen schokkende wijzigingen in ontwerp. De...
Speelt alles af, Soepel op hoge bitrates, Mooie interface!...
Reageert wat traag...
De HD2 is een mooie speler. De interface is uniek en zit uitstekend in elkaar. Jammer genoeg reageert de speler soms wat traag. Gelukkig merk je daar niets van tijdens het afspelen van films. Al met al een bijzonder interessante speler voor wie graag f...

We were saddened by the when we reviewed it recently, and at least visually, the Playon!HD2 doesn't appear to be all that different, with a plain plastic case with the AC Ryan logo embedded in the top, a variety of input sockets on the right-hand sid...
Wide range of format support, including BD-ISO, In-built gigabit Ethernet torrent support, Supports USB 3.0...
There is, quite literally, no manual available at all, Crash-prone, Noisy fan, Remote control and menu design still needs a lot of work...
The Playon!HD2 is an unusual mix of excellent format support with terrible documentation, serious stability issues and whacky GUI control choices. It's inexpensive, but unless firmware updates can address the control and stability issues, it's a poor c...

When looking at this next generation player from AC Ryan one of the biggest new feature is the inclusion of a USB 3.0 connection. When connecting the HD 2 to a PC via the new USB 3.0 port, using the blue high-speed cable provided in the bundle, it tur...

With so many features, it's hard not to like the AC Ryan Playon HD2, but we can't help think that it could be so much better. A few interface tweaks, some added functionality and a little more speed could make it one of the best media streamers on the...

AC Ryan's Playon!HD2 is based on the same Realtek hardware as most other media streamers, although its fan makes more noise than most. The firmware also feels familiar, but AC Ryan has at least put a rather sleek-looking skin over it. Like most current...

Medio 2009 voltrok zich een kleine revolutie in mediaspelerland: de introductie van de Realtek RTD1073 chip bracht weergave van Full HD digitale videobestanden binnen het bereik van iedereen. Kostte een goede speler op dat moment nog zo'n 400 euro, met...
Aan het begin van dit artikel stelden we de vraag: is de AC Ryan Playon!HD 2 een waardige opvolger van de roemruchte voorganger uit 2009? Naar onze mening is het antwoord een eenduidig 'ja'. Zo goed als alle kinderziektes waar die voorganger last van h...
