Onkyo CR-555DAB micro hi-fi comes with or without speakers, in silver or black
This just in from Onkyo: it has released details of its new CR-555DAB micro hi-fi system, fitted with a DAB/DAB+/FM radio, CD player and iPod dock.
It will go on sale in August in two versions (in black or silver): without speakers at £250, or with a pair of D-055 speakers included (price to be confirmed).
Additional features include a USB port for connecting flash-memory devices, a 96kHz/24-bit optical or coaxial digital input for sending hi-res music files to the receiver's own 192kHz/24-bit DAC, and a dedicated subwoofer preout.
Onkyo says the CR-555DAB incorporates the same three-stage amplification technology used in the company's home cinema receivers and hi-fi separates to reduce distortion and "preserve the natural character of the recording".
The optional D-055 speakers employ N-OMF (New Onkyo Micro Fibre) cones made from moulded layers of aramid and lightweight, non-woven cotton.

Are there any plans to test the Onkyo CR555 and/or Denon M39 any time soon?
Heh, yeah, just saw that one. I am curious to see how this round goes and who ends up on top. There should be soon an updated version of Yamaha 555 as well I guess.
Then again...
Finally some competition for Denon M38? (Well, there is Marantz 603 ofc buf they are in different price leagues)
