R_volution Media Players Available in Australia
Rising from the ashes of the recent announcement regarding Zappiti’s demise comes the good news of the brand’s resurrection under new guidance and branding.
R_volution manufactures premium media players, audio video servers, and software “delivering the highest quality, outstanding performance, and the best possible user experience for home entertainment”. The range includes media players compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X.
At launch, only two products will be available: the PlayerOne 4K Media Player ($1595 RRP) and the R_volution NAS ($7,495 RRP), an audio-video server/storage unit.
Effective immediately, Melbourne's Synergy Audio Visual has been appointed the brand's exclusive Australian distributor. “We are excited to join R_volution to bring the finest video experience to enthusiasts and movie lovers alike”, says the company.
The PlayerOne includes R_video — which the company says is “the best entertainment hub available on the market, featuring a modern and fast user interface to explore your movies and TV shows”. R_video analyses your video files located on a local disk connected to your PlayerOne or stored via NAS on a local network. Then, R_video collects the cover art, background and various information such as cast, director, release date, rating, etc. You can browse a genre, sort movies by rating, duration or release date. You can also read a summary or even play the trailer.
It is understood that R_volution has also released a paid app (with an ongoing subscription), enabling previous Zappiti product owners to continue managing their media libraries.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
