Default Vaistech ML Plus - looks promising

Vaistech posted pics of their ML Plus product which launches next week.

It looks awesome. Very intuitive user interface. Huge upgrade over sl2vi and will have digital sound quality!

I've seen here somewhere good phrase -
"Unless you got an amazing collection of DVD-A type audio disks, Mark Levinson is nothing special"
try some 5.1 music =)
I bought some on e-bay. Sounds great. Or as you say - awesome! =)

Looks awesome! Can't wait to get access to my complete audio collection... I'm tired of burning MP3 CDs. Will this play video from an external USB HDD? If so, what formats? Or... Is IPOD video the only way to watch video?

Thanks in advance! I'll definitely pop for one when they come out...

It does play video from external USB HDD. Don't know which ones but you can ask them on that thread linked above where I asked my questions.

Do you have to have the ML/navigation screen in order to play dvd/videos or will still work with non ML/navigation screens???

Sound like what I need except for the price.
Group buy?

Anybody would comment how this unit in a Lexus with Nav stacks against replacement units like Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT that cost more but is a complete system with high resolution screen? I do use Iphone a lot. Thanks!

hmm.. i wanna hear someones input on my situation, I have an 08 with nav and ML with the dvd switch bypass.. all i really wanna do is control my ipod through the screen and have it charge my ipod. Do you think the ML plus is worth getting or should i just get the sl2vi? tired of making mp3 cds already..

you want just audio or video as well? if just audio, sl2i-up is cheapest, sound quality ok. if you want video, then sl2vi or sl2ic. if you want the best video (digital), then ml+ that's going to come out soon

man, i am answering too many vaistech questions
