i meant copying disk to disk using R200 vs. a PC saves power bill, hands down but if you will do massive copying on a big TV, power consumed is about the same.
The R200 is my main player for now, just for the mere convenience of plugging and unplugging disks. I find R200 mobile disk trays a must have coz of my # disks (small ones < .5TB or less). R200 is good value for money given its SQ and PQ. I cant wait to see how s800 is (sigma chip same as PCH-C200)
I still have a 500x, but i just got tired of flipping it over, connect a disk, and play. I just placed a few nice videos found it a home in my son's room. Nice with M500x is the coverart and about jpegs, but with R200's autopreview movie feature, i'm good.
mede8er 500x comes complete with cables and bag, which is nice for 1st time users but most often cables you wont need if you have an old setup, may bump the sticker price up a bit.
Please clarify what exactly does this mean. What are the improvements on the Mede8er 500X as you said that you switched from it to the Egreat?
