Impossible to integrate

The product has not been updated for new OS versions and it is almost impossible to get it working. Revain does not sell such products. Make sure the products can run on Windows 7 or even XP.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • silent

Amazing - and it sounds Rhapsody!

I like the DMS1 - it was easy to install and very easy to use. The best part is being able to stream Rhapsody! Omnifi's technical support is also very responsive. After trying the solutions, I can't recommend it highly enough!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Weight

Bad machine

I've had this machine for about 7 months and it hasn't worked properly the whole time. I got it from WOOT and everything I got there didn't work properly. Maybe that's all. Omnifi just sends me back to WOOT and doesn't seem to care about that damn machine. It likes to quit from time to time, it needs to be restarted frequently to make it work at all. I can't use it often. Like the concept though.

Pros
  • Good thing

good for a computer person!

Received about a year and a half ago. I am having problems with my computer and have never connected it properly. Our PBS radio station switched to HD-2 to hear its classical music. I wanted it to continue. Anyway, they went back to the standard FM format and I don't need it now. This is a great device and I will be offering it to anyone who is interested at a very good price. Still in the original box and with all instructions.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

does little.

What this product can do: Stream anything from your computer. What this product cannot: Play something from the internet. This little guy only plays files from your computer. But all you need to play files from your computer is a $5 cable connecting the headphone jack to your stereo. Also, this thing is very difficult to use. To find an album on Rhapsody you have to search through 70,000 albums which is tedious, I'm back to a simple cable.

Pros
  • Receiver and amplifier
Cons
  • Available in white only

I'm only giving 5 stars because I can't give 6

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT! Installs without major problems, can work with Rhapsody and Musicmatch, and play files you have on your hard drive. Comments: a) SimpleCenter installs without any problems. The only catch: To download the firmware update, you have to create an account and register. Otherwise, the Download Firmware Update button will be disabled (you need to update the firmware to use Rhapsody). It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere that an account needs to be created first (if at all),

Pros
  • Home audio
Cons
  • A little change
