Sony Japan has released information on the eclectic NAS-V7M and NAS-V5 speaker docks with WM-Port, USB, and MP3 CD capability. They are quite stylish in design, and also quite large. Due for release on June 26th, the latest in the NAS home audio series has several unique features. The V7M to transfer music from a CD straight to your Walkman with the touch of one button.
And with a wired LAN and Wi-Fi integration, you can enjoy access to Internet radio services such as vTuner and SHOUTcast. 20 programmable stations for the Internet radio allow you to quickly hit your favorite genres without having to search. CD’s that are inserted also automatically have CD/title information pulled and displayed from the ‘net.
It’s important to state that the NAS-V7M is a bit more advanced than the V5, as it has 16GB of built-in storage, 2x CD to HDD recording capability (128/256kbps mp3), and MP3/WMA/AAC/ATRAC and PCM. Great to see ATRAC still lives on in Japan. Output is fairly good at 7.5W +7.5 W, with a full range speaker size of 65mm.
