Publication date 7/2008 4 products on test	7 out of 10 points The DSM-330 supports input resolutions up to 720p and can output an upscaled image up to 1080i, which, on paper, sounds great for all those out there with expensive HD TVs begging for content. Unfortunately, AVReview felt its file support was spotty and a few irritating quirks marred an otherwise good overall performance.	Download
Computing Made Easy Issue 126 4 products on test	6 out of 10 points One of the cheapest players to provide HD streaming. Computing Made Easy magazine felt that the DSM-330 lacked abilities in areas such as audio formats and even the plastic design is a let down. All in all it does a good job but doesn't do it with the style of some of the other players.
Issue 5/2008 Single test	"very good" (4 out of 5 stars) While everything worked well and the interface wasn't too hard to navigate, the D-Link media streamer lacked support for a number of audio codecs, such as lossless formats. It also tied users in to its own software for sourcing video files which What HiFi? magazine found meant you couldn't use it in combination with a network attached storage drive. Aside from these faults, the magazine found it a cheap and easy enough way to get digital content onto a big screen TV.
Publication date 3/2008 Single test	2,5 out of 5 stars Value for money: 3 and a half stars out of 5 "... It's a simple, straightforward streamer that provides a clean and simple interface, but not a lot of extra navigation and content-discovery features."	Download
Publication date 2/2008 Single test	"Very Good" (7,5 out of 10 points) "The D-Link DSM-330 wireless media streamer is a good idea that with firmware updates or future revisions has the potential to get a lot better. It's only a shame there isn't great file support."	Download
Publication date 1/2008 Single test	8 out of 10 points Value for money: 8 out of 10 points "... I really like the menu systems, video playback quality is superb, and the ease with which you can go online and download from the Stage6 website is a real boon. But it's severely limited in its appeal ..."	Download
