Woah, I didn't know that the R10's had high end source cousins.
Hey look! It even has wood.

Lovely units indeed

They were by far the most expensive non professional CDP/DAC combo Sony ever launched!
I think back in those days Sony stood on the front row (near the edge?

) of audio design, and created quite a few classics to be, inovative and with great looks/build quality... even if their diffusion outside Japan was limited.

Nostalgic? Yep.
