The SSL 2+ is Solid State Logic's original desktop 2-in/4-out USB-C audio interface for songwriters and project studios, carrying the brand's mic preamp with a '4K' legacy-console harmonic mode. Two rear Neutrik combo jacks accept mic, line, or Hi-Z instrument, with 48V phantom and switchable 4K. Balanced 1/4-inch TRS main outputs drive studio monitors, with a parallel RCA pair mirroring them and an independent RCA 3/4 output for headphone cue sends or DJ software. Two front 1/4-inch headphone outs and 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O complete the feature set over a USB-C (USB 2.0) host link.
Devices
Steam Deck LCD Original (2022)
The handheld PC that made the format mainstream runs a custom AMD APU inside a surprisingly capable connectivity shell. Its single USB-C port operates at USB 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode — one dock connects to a TV and handles 45W charging simultaneously. There is no Thunderbolt and no proprietary dock protocol, so any standard USB-C hub or dock works without caveats. The microSD slot accepts cards up to 2TB for storage expansion.
Valve's handheld console delivers all connectivity through a single USB-C port running USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps—charging, data transfers, and DisplayPort Alt Mode for external 4K monitors. The dock (sold separately) splits charging and video, so you're not stuck choosing between power and displays. MicroSD card support via UHS-II lets you expand storage at full speed, and the 3.5mm jack handles headsets natively. Below is the complete port breakdown.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES, 1991)
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System connects via a multi-purpose AV port supporting composite, S-Video, or RGB—SCART cables in PAL regions. The cartridge slot is a top-loader, and the console draws about 10W of power under typical use. Two controller ports on the front accept standard SNES pads or a multitap for four-player games; a separate expansion port on the rear is for add-on chips inside certain cartridges. Here's the complete port breakdown.
Super Nintendo Jr. (SNES Mini, 1997)
This compact SNES Jr. redesign shrinks the console and drops the RF option, leaving only composite and S-Video via its AV port. The cartridge slot is still a top-loader, and power consumption drops slightly to about 9W. Two controller ports and one expansion port mirror the original's layout. Below is the full connector layout.
The Synology DS224+ is a 2-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core CPU, 2GB of DDR4 (expandable to 6GB), and support for SHR/RAID 0/1/JBOD across a pair of 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives. Networking uses dual Gigabit Ethernet with link aggregation and failover, while two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports — one front, one rear — handle printers, UPS units, and external backups. Power comes from an external 60W DC brick, so the chassis itself has no IEC inlet.
The Synology DS923+ is a 4-bay desktop NAS built around an AMD Ryzen R1600 dual-core CPU with 4GB ECC DDR4 (expandable to 32GB), supporting SHR/RAID 0/1/5/6/10 across four 3.5" or 2.5" drives and an optional DX517 expansion chassis. Networking uses dual Gigabit Ethernet with link aggregation and failover, while a rear PCIe Gen3 x2 slot accepts Synology's E10G22-T1-Mini 10GbE upgrade card. A pair of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (one front, one rear) handle UPS units, printers, and external backups. Power comes from an external 100W DC brick, so the chassis itself has no IEC inlet.
TCL QM8 65″ Mini LED QLED (2023)
TCL's QM8 flips the script: HDMI 1 and 2 are the gaming ports at full HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps, 4K@144Hz, up to 240Hz interpolated), while HDMI 3 and 4 drop to 2.0b. That means you'll plug your console into a front port, not the back. eARC lives on HDMI 4 intentionally—TCL protected both gaming inputs. Game Accelerator 240 with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro delivers smooth high-frame-rate content. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
Technics' SL-1500C is a coreless direct-drive turntable with a built-in MM phono preamp that can be bypassed via a rear switch — effectively two separate RCA outputs in one turntable. The deck ships with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-mounted, a detachable phono-style cable, and a dedicated earth wire for the grounding post. Mains power uses a detachable 3-pin IEC C14 inlet with worldwide 100–240V tolerance, which makes replacement cords universal. Dedicated power supplies separate the phono and line stages to keep the signal paths clean.
The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 is a 2-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel N100 quad-core CPU with 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (expandable to 16GB), two 3.5"/2.5" SATA bays, and two internal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x1 slots for NVMe caching or storage. Networking is a single 2.5GbE RJ-45 port, and a rear HDMI 2.0b output enables 4K@60Hz local playback via UGREEN's UGOS software. Up front the chassis offers a 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and a matching 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A for quick ingest, with a rear mix of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports for UPS, printers, and long-term backup targets.
UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus (2024)
The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is a 4-bay desktop NAS built around an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 five-core CPU with 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (expandable to 16GB), four 3.5"/2.5" SATA bays, and two internal M.2 2280 NVMe slots for storage or SSD caching. Networking is the feature: a 10GbE RJ-45 port alongside a 2.5GbE port enables up to ~1250 MB/s sustained transfer over copper. Up front, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, matching USB-A, and an SD card reader handle fast ingest, while the rear panel adds a HDMI 2.0b 4K output, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports for UPS and legacy peripherals.
Universal Audio Apollo Twin X (2019)
UA's Apollo Twin X is a desktop 10x6 Thunderbolt 3 interface built around Unison-enabled mic preamps and onboard UAD SHARC processing (DUO or QUAD variants). Two combo XLR/TRS inputs and a dedicated front-panel 1/4-inch Hi-Z jack feed the preamps. Two balanced 1/4-inch monitor outputs and two 1/4-inch line outputs cover stereo monitoring plus an auxiliary pair, with a front TRS headphone out. An optical TOSLINK input carries ADAT or S/PDIF for eight channels of external expansion. Power comes from the included external supply — Thunderbolt bus power is not supported.

With 4,000 ANSI lumens and dual HDMI 2.0b inputs, this DLP projector handles bright rooms and multi-source setups with ease. A USB-C port lets you connect a Nintendo Switch or laptop directly without an adapter — a rare feature in this price range. The 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p and 4.2ms input lag make it a solid pick for gaming alongside movie night. An RJ-45 port and RS-232 are included for network control and custom installation.
Vizio's Elevate was the first soundbar with rotating up-firing speakers that physically tilt upward when Dolby Atmos content is detected. Two HDMI inputs support 4K Dolby Vision HDR passthrough from source devices like gaming consoles and Blu-ray players. The eARC output sends lossless Atmos audio from TV streaming apps back to the soundbar. A 3.5mm auxiliary input and optical port provide additional connection options for older devices.
Vizio M-Series M512a-H6 (2022)
This 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar packs a surprising amount of connectivity into a mid-range package. Two HDMI ports handle video passthrough and eARC, so you can route a single cable to your TV and get lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio back. A dedicated 3.5mm voice assistant input lets you wire an Echo or other smart speaker directly into the system. Optical and USB-A round out the inputs for legacy devices and local file playback.
The original Xbox connects via composite or component video through a proprietary AV connector, supporting up to 1080i on component TVs. A single USB port on the front charges controllers, while two Ethernet ports on the back provide both standard wired networking and HD Video Kit connectivity (480Mbps). The composite cable delivers muddy colors compared to component—third-party HDMI adapters are essential for modern displays. Here's the complete port breakdown.
The Xbox 360 uses composite or component video via a proprietary AV connector on the back, supporting up to 1080i resolution on component displays. Two USB ports on front are shared between controller charging and low-speed data (12Mbps); the rear USB ports run at full USB 2.0 (480Mbps) for storage. An original composite cable produces noticeably softer video than component; modern HDMI adapters are recommended for contemporary TV displays. Here's the complete port breakdown.
