The second player from Terratec builds successfully on the previous model

Sadly, it still has very limited support for audio formats, but does include some excellent new features

Unlike the original Noxon which only has a 3.5mm output, the new Noxon 2 has both RCA audio outputs and a digital output for connecting to an outbound DAC or into an AV Amp

There is also a USB port on the unit, for connecting to an MP3 player, to play music directly, without needing a computer

The inclusion of a network point allows both wired and wireless connectivity

The large, backlit screen remains and the remote is also the same as the Noxon

The unusual design is for use with new add-ons, including a speaker and a speaker with FM radio, to make this a fully stand-alone unit

Bundling the unit with Twonkyvision is an excellent move as this software is one of the best UPnP streamers available

Although more expensive than the original Noxon, this new player has some excellent new features, but the lack of audio format support is a shame, especially as the price competes with the Roku and Squeezebox
