Mark, My sony rep just gave us a product rundown for 2003, and this item caught my eye--I know you're into this stuff. Sony is releasing the worlds first SACD portable player, although not in the US. It is supposed to retail for about 100,000 yen when it is released on 3/31/03. Here are some specs from the presentation he gave: D-SA888 SACD Walkman Plays Super Audio Compact Discs and Compact Discs New Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding eliminates the distortions of decimation and interpolation filters G-ProtectionTM Ultimate Skip Protection Slide-In Disc Loading Mechanism CD-Text Compatible LCD Remote Controller with New Luminous BackglowTM Display CD-Size Case with Lightweight Magnesium Die-Cast Chassis MD Link Optical Output Dual DiscreteTM optical block with one laser optimized for SACD, another dedicated to CD Twin fixed pickup laser tracking assembly Accurate Complementary Pulse Density Modulation (ACP) system for SACD playback S-TACT Synchronous Time Accuracy Controller reduces clock noise, minimizes jitter 8-output Current Pulse D/A Converter |
