I won't say they are not on the same league....they use the same chip and from what i heard the video performance is the same.  The only thing different is the UI and that is subject to preference.

wei got eSATA connection, just rubber band a HDD under the asus lor.. 

The last time i heard, most prefer not to put a HD in the ryan to avoid overheating. 

If you are smart, you could have ask does the ryan got e-sata to be on the same leaque as the O!play?

Can you stream 1080P without judder with Wifi?  Somethings are more for gimmick than real use.

this call jitter.

video cannot stuck 1........

finish review on a Himedia HD300D - supposely using the realtek 1073 chip (same as the Acryan) -
if mod thinks its not appropriate to put it here because its not ACryan just tell me..just that the player plays BDMV bluray rips with out the fancy bluray menus but their own menu. And some people might want to see how it works.
