Spark’s egg-shaped VTube media player won’t fit neatly in your AV rack

Much like Sony’s PlayStation 3, Spark’s VTube clearly wasn’t designed to sit nicely in-between a 7.1-channel AV receiver and a cable set-top-box. Engineered in some backwoods lab about 30 kilometers south of Shenzhen, the so-called VTube looks to be a pretty standard media player outside of its unorthodox design. The unit packs HDMI / component / composite video outputs, an Ethernet jack and a Toslink optical audio output, and those who dig internal storage can slap a 2.5-inch HDD within to keep those old Office clips handy. Predictably, it also supports pretty much every file format known to man, and the built-in USB port ensures that you can add external storage if need be. It’ll only run you around $130, but the chances of seeing this on US soil are slim.
