A good little media player, with full support of Blu-ray menus from ripped ISOs, but it needs a few tweaks to beat the competition.

Sonos Play:5 review
Media streamers

The S5 player looks fantastic and sounds brilliant. It's an excellent introduction to the Sonos service or, for existing users, a flexible new player to add to a running network.

A low price, an amazing range of capabilities and a basic but effective menu system make the Xtreamer a winner.
