Sony MEX-DV1000 Description: Sony is bringing out Car Stereo players with Super Audio CD.
According to a news story from the company's HD World newsletter which focuses on Sony's High Definition or "HD" products and technologies (such as Super Audio CD, Direct Stream Digital, High Definition TV Sets and the Blu-Ray Disc), Sony's "Xplod" Car Stereo line will introduce the industry's first "in-car AV entertainment system" with Super Audio CD playback this Spring.
Three SACD Car Stereo Models from Sony Explod
The SACD products will consist of three Sony Explod models aimed at the after-sale car stereo market. The first two models, due out in late Spring, are the MEX-DV1000 and the MEX-DV2000.
In the summer, these two SACD Car Stereo products will be joined by the XAV-W1. This unit will be a 2-DIN size model that will include a WVGA TFT Touch Screen Monitor along with both Stereo Super Audio CD and Surround Sound Super Audio CD playback as well.
A Long Awaited Development
The arrival of SACD Car Stereo players has been a long awaited development by High Resolution Audio fans. Philips and Harman Audio had previously announced development work on in car SACD players, so their initial arrival from Sony is a bit of a surprise.
HD World says that "SACD’s In-Car application has been a long time coming – mainly due to the lack of suitable silicon for this demanding application. These new models are the product of a major development program within Sony and feature a new and radically different design of AV chassis called ‘DRIVE-S II’. Also, the models feature state-of-the-art silicon chipsets developed specifically to meet the challenge of HD In-Car audio."
