I agree that the MVP is fantastic value for money. But there is a reason for that. Video output is poor and the sound output is poor and the interface is sluggish. I know, I've got one. I would be hard pressed to get a XBox - mod it - add a remote control - install XBMC for the same money as the MVP, but as a client it would be much better. My own XBMC XBoxes don't get much use any more as I don't have any non-HD TVs.
I have a Noxon2, which I use as an audio only player but not with MediaPortal as a server. I have used it with and without an external DAC and it has always sounded pretty good. Interface is not that great though.
I have installed the DSM-520 for other people, but I do not have one. It is the best box I've seen so far, but even it fails to play some files it should be capable of playing.
What are the chances!!! I have just noticed that Kaoh has just started developing a UPnP server plugin for MediaPortal.
mpTinoMediaServer beta
This should give support to any MVP running MediaMVP Media Center (mvpmc), assuming the limitation that the MVP can’t play very many file types. Hopefully I'll get some time to test it, got to try the Noxon2 first though!
