Onkyo Japan rolls out their newest stereo with a hard drive, the BR-NX10. This newest release is definitely a high-end product, bringing the best of in stereo storage. Many of these Japan released gadgets never see the light of day in Europe or the U.S. Because of the NX10’s large price, this stereo most likely won’t be an exception to that rule.
Although the price is a whopping ¥94,500, the high-end quality is clear from the specs of the machine. The player can decode any type of PCM, ATRAC, ATRAC3/+, and MP3 tunes, whether it be loacated on an attached USB memory key, attached through a PC via the stereos on-board Ethernet connection, or just on the drive itself.
The high price leads us to believe that the sound quality of the NX10 is audiophile quality,. The audio output is rated at 19Wx2 and includes 2 composite I/Os. Though the coolest thing lies within its Ethernet internet connection, which automatically draws track info from Gracenote’s online database. Ok, Onkyo. You’ve impressed us. — Andrew Dobrow
