Position 4/4 in test
"below par" (2 out of 5 stars)
The poorest performing of digital media players tested, Linksys' DMA2200 is only appropriate if you use Windows Media Center, as it runs off this. While being affordable and managing its media reasonably, the lack of features and versatility make this an option no one really needs to consider.

"Draft-n wireless media streaming is a real plus, but the DMA2200 is too specialised for its own good."

"excellent" (8 out of 10 points)
"... probably the best media streaming device we've ever tested. It's a shame you can only use it with Windows Vista, but for those who want to send media from their PC to their TV, it's the ideal solution."

"... although media streaming and DVD upscaling make this a fully-featured device, its Media Center foundation prevents it from reaching its potential."

Summary of Linksys DMA2200



The DVD player was put through its paces in the test labs of 5 magazines but its overall score of C betrayed its decidedly average performance.
Under the microscope, the Linksys DMA2200 was able to obtain its best score of "excellent" (8 out of 10 points) in the 3/2008 issue of CNET.co.uk online magazine. What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision magazine gave the product a score of "below par" (2 out of 5 stars) in issue 3/2009, which was the lowest score it received.
The Linksys DMA2200 was also able to walk away with the "Recommended" (Personal Computer World 2/2008) prize.
