In Reply to: Sony S9000ES replacement model? posted by 15chapel on July 10, 2002 at 07:27:30:
The model number will be 999ES. It will have the 108 MHz DAC's that are being used in Sony's new models.
Follow Ups:
That they were doing this. And I should have known!Okay, the only link I found so far was on an Italian website. Here is a *rough* translation of what the text is for this new machine:
Quietly introduced (and lacking in technical information) NS 999ES. This is a new player, top of compatible range DVD/SACD: it has multichannel, reads all you form (Audio DVD to you? - the new readers dvd of the house decide of 192 kHz and 24 audio conversion to bit, therefore...) Includes MP3 and has the new Precison Drive 2 motor for high speed and greater precision, plus double quantity laser introduced on all the new models.
I'm not sure what they mean by "Audio DVD to you?" but it sounds funny, anyway.
Enjoy!

Where can I get more info on this new model? I'm deciding whether to wait for this one or just buy a NS715P. I don't care about the audio performance as I am buying a separate SACD player.
The S999ES is expected to be released in September, which means probably October. I haven't seen anything on the internet, only heard the news from a Sony rep.If you don't want to wait that long, the DVP-NS755V will be out in a couple of weeks. It has the 108 MHz DAC's and does mulitichannel SACD. Check out the spec's at cruchfield.com.
