American Audio Radius-1000

Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd woensdag, 22 oktober 2008 14:56

American Audio komt met een nieuwe cd speler op de proppen welke naast normale cd speler functionaliteit ook nog eens beschikt over midi mogelijkheden. Het enige wat ontbreekt op de speler is de mogelijkheid om nieuwe media zoals van een USB of HDD af te kunnen spelen, een missertje want hier beschikken zowel de Denon DN-S1200 als ook de Pioneer CDJ-400 over. Wat de Radius 1000 wel weer kan en de DN-S1200 van Denon niet is het afspelen van MP3 files op een CD/CD-R.
