Netgear EVA8000 review from the experts at whathifi.com
Stutter-free wireless streaming; access to YouTube; plays copy-protected music files...No Apple Lossless support; no DVD...It's really easy to set up, finding suitable networks within seconds...This is a shame as, with the exception of Lossless, the EVA8000 handled everything we threw at it to a very high standard...Overall, despite the lack of a built-in DVD player or Lossless support,...
