The Bottom Line	ADS Tech's Media-Link wireless digital media receiver isn't ready for prime time.	Equally adept at streaming audio, photos, and HD video, the D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 offers a winning combination of impressive features and performance at an affordable price.		The highly versatile Buffalo LinkTheater can play DVDs, high-def streaming video, and digital music, but it falls short on implementation.
