0 pata2001 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 With the shrinking marketshare of PCDPs, I don't think Sony will release anymore PCDPs. Maybe only some plastic low-enders, but Sony didn't even release any NE930/NE30 other than the NE830 in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DSJ Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 It would be sad if Sony didnt release a high end PCDP. There is still arguably a market for them, particularly for audiophiles who want to be able to listen to CDs as they were intended. I have a D-NE711, but would really have liked a D-NE20 for size and functions. I was silly not to have bought it back in 2005. The 711 is a bit clunky and big. However, I agree that they will probably just stick with the low end ones. Look what happened to the tape Walkman. The one you can buy now is a basic one with auto stop and no remote control. PCDPs are probably likely to go the same way. Its a shame. I would have liked a small thin one. The top end D-NE730 thats currently available in the UK is sleek and looks good, but it just isnt quite thin enough to fit into a suit pocket. ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Damage Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Give up hope, at least for high end. Frankly, I think some redesign aside (more clearance room on the top for the CDs) or what not, the CD Walkman (Technically) still exists in the cheap PSYC models and what not, but I think we've seen the end of ATRAC CD players. They've also been partly supplanted by the DVD Walkman as well (to a point)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wolfgang Mittermeier Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 We can wait for the 25-year-anniversary edition, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flyco Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 25 Anniversary Edition, it is pretty good. I want to be there, and so is not worth not expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aafuss Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not going to happen-all currently sold models are at least from 2006. Sony hasn't released anything newer than D-NE240/340 series (late 2006). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aafuss Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 No current models on SonyStyle.com are "PSYC"-we've probably seen the last of them (old models are listed, but you have to search for them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
rockphantom
Howdy,
Does anyone know if Sony has any plans to introduce a new 2007 line of PCDPs?
I am starting to give up hope on any future models that will be capable of replacing the D-NE920 and D-NE20.
