Onkyo Japan’s latest hard-drive-toting home stereo is a feature-packed piece of high-end equipment that should satisfy both the audiophile and the gadget freak in anyone.
The ¥94,500 BR-NX10 is part of Onkyo’s usual range of quality stereos and includes an 80GB hard drive inside that shiny metal box. The player can decode any of PCM, ATRAC, ATRAC3/+ and MP3, whether the tunes are resident on the drive, an attached USB memory key or on a PC attached via the NX10’s Ethernet connection.
That networking feature is also used to access the Gracenote database to pull down track details, which can be seen on the 5in color screen. The LCD can also be used for online shopping in the Japanese AnyMusic store.
Audio output is rated at 19Wx2 and there are two analogue I/O channels along with a single composite video output for connecting a larger screen. Out in Japan in the middle of March, the NX10 is, sadly, unlikely to make it to Europe or the US.
