Sony Japan announced yesterday that three new NETJUKE system – NAS-M95HD, NAS-M75HD, NAS-D55HD along with an optional NAS-C5 wireless digital audio streamer will be added to its current fleet of NETJUKE system (click here for previous version). The new NETJUKE system – NAS-M95HD, NAS-M75HD, NAS-D55HD and NAS-C5 wireless digital audio streamer will be available for sale (in Japan only) on November 10, October 20 and November 21, 2007 respectively.
NAS-M95HD: 120GB HDD/MD/CD/S-Master 26W×2ch
★ approx. ¥120,000 (USD$1,053)
NAS-M75HD: 80GB HDD/MD/CD/S-Master 20W×2ch
★ approx. ¥80,000 (USD$702)
NAS-D55HD: 80GB HDD/CD/Digital amplifier 20W×2ch
★ approx. ¥60,000 (USD$527); available in Pink, White and Black
NAS-C5: wireless digital audio streamer
★ approx. ¥30,000 (USD$263)
Like its predecessor, the new NAS-M95HD and NAS-M75HD will feature Sony’s S Master Digital Amplifier*. However, the NAS-D55HD will only employ a standard digital amplifier. The new NETJUKE system will also have an Ethernet port (which is DLNA compliant) so that your Mp3 and ATRAC tunes residing within your PC can be transferred onto the NetJuke’s HDD via Wireless LAN. These new NETJUKEs are also equipped with Sony proprietary “WM-PORT”; so direct music transfer without the PC is possible for selected Walkman (*currently, NW-A800/S710F/S700F/S610F/S600 series).
The “S-Master” digital amplifier, used in the BRAVIA X series and a range of other Sony products, is designed to transform electricity into sound efficiently. This fully digital amplifier minimizes power consumption by converting more than 85% of electricity into audio signals*4. Moreover, the “S-Master” suffers almost no sound deterioration due to heat, because it generates only one-tenth the heat of analog amplifiers. This improvement ensures high-quality sound. In addition, Sony contributed to the conservation of resources by significantly reducing the size of the heat sink – a part that stabilizes the generation of heat.
