The EM7195 arrives in a brightly coloured box with specifications listed on the front and a clear image of the product top right.
The player itself is wrapped in a protective felt bag with foam inserts on either side. Eminent also offer a wireless dongle, but this is an optional extra.
The bundle is comprehensive: several power cables and an adaptor, HDMI cable, USB 3.0 cable, sata power adaptor for external devices, composite cables, optical out and a remote controller. There is also a well written multilanguage booklet.
The remote controller is extremely well designed, and is long and slim for long term comfort. It is also backlit for ease of use in darker environments.
I like the brushed aluminum. I think AC ryan opting for the piano black, looks great, but it would be a nightmare to keep clean.
Otherwise, in my opinion there are far too many of these realtek players on the market. but what do I know 🙂
Thats a pretty ugly looking interface, but it does seem to move pretty quick looking at the videos. perhaps AC ryan went overboard with the graphics?
Its a nicer design physically than the AC ryan model, but I agree, they havent done anything with the interface to improve it. Seems basically like they just bought a bunch of boards and put them into the chassis. nothing much else.
