A few months back I played around with the RAD2X Nintendo, seeing what it could do for SNES, N64, Modded N64s, and the GameCube. Now I want to see how the SNES experience compares to the 2X Pro when running Component Cables! The RAD2X is priced lower than the 2X Pro itself, and is half the price of going all the way with high-end component cables, so I'm curious to see how it stacks up. Which solution is right for you would depend on your game consoles, as the 2X and 5X Pro support a wide variety of inputs while the RAD2X family are all built for specific consoles or series of consoles, some of which the RAD2X can grab onto the higher quality RGB Signals of.
