0 rockphantom Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Very cool!!Will we see D-NE930 & D-NE30??I am on the verge of making an (EXPENSIVE) iPod jump, hopefully Sony can keep me on their side with a new line of quality PCDPs!!Hope that the 2006 line are of better build quality than my D-NE920 which inexplicably died on Monday.Thanks for the info Pata!Milan Edited October 13, 2005 by rockphantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Very nice find, pata!! The NE-830 looks absolutely stunning in that dark blue color, especially with the brushed metal finish. It's very strange to see MP3 predominantly labeled with ATRAC in smaller letters.

0 Embio Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 So Kurisu, will we see a D-NE930 and D-NE30 do you think? You seem to be the guy with the insider info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sonydiscman Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 WOW, I really love that black D-NE730 !I dont really like the look of that D-NE830, especially just I dont like brushed finishes, cause to me it looks like its damaged, just my opinion though, something personal I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pata2001 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 IMO, brushed metal is more durable. Shiny/glossy surfaces get scratches/fingerprints easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) IMO, brushed metal is more durable. Shiny/glossy surfaces get scratches/fingerprints easily. Would tend to agree, my older D-EJ925 has a non glossy finish and it has held up rather amazing these years, same for the MD I own.Edit, damn I just noticed the AD adapter specs, why didn't sony include that in my MZ-N10.

0 Damage Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hmmm, other than returning to the puck stylings of past PCDPs, nothing new added on. I suppose I'll skip this generation. Unless, and this is a must, the D-NE30 packs a HD Digital Amp. Otherwise, it'll be very hard to top D-NE20/920 in their features. By the looks of it, they're still sticking with MC53/55s. Shame, they would've absolutely benefitted with a remote that's similar to the 40s. That and better media handling. D-NE20 even pukes on a genuine Taiyo Yuden CDRs. Nuts.

0 adam917 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Wow! Those are very nice for what I believe are their 3rd- and 4th-place models. I really wonder what the D-NE930 & D-NE30 will look like and feature...and, of course, how they will sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 maxthrusters Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I just bought a D-NE920 today. I like having a backlit LCD right on the unit, and the optical out feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Stuge Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I just bought a D-NE920 today. I like having a backlit LCD right on the unit, and the optical out feature.Yup ,That's the main advantage of E920 over E900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrew Soebali Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I just dont get it, what are the added features this model give from the third gen? In my country, Indonesia, D-NE20 still the most expensive CD Player. It even sold higher than NE-920.I saw it and touched those directly from local Sony Center, D-NE20 design is the best from all CD players shown there. I am lurking to get D-NE20, but Damage only gives this player 50 marks. What is the difference between D-NE830 and D-NE20? What is the update? Should i get this model or get D-NE20?

Should i get this model or get D-NE20?Nobody knows since I don't think anybody got either one of this yet. Both models are not released outside Japan. The NE20 is still the top end, even at Sony Japan, at this point. Damage gave NE20 a bad score mainly because of its media compatibility and a buffering "bug" when playing high bitrate AtracCD. At this point in time, I would not recommend a PCDP unless it's really cheap or there are features you must have (eg. line out). Flash based MP3 players have been incerasing in capacity and decreasing in prices. Do a price comparison at your local currency to see what kind of MP3 player you can get for the same price of the D-NE20. 2GB flash players are probably cheaper now.
