[[image:dvpns9100es_1.jpg::right:0]]Since I like the combination of DVD-video, SAVD and CD, I want to show you the Sony DVP-NS91000ES. This is a combination player sits within Sony’s ES range of Hifi components.

The DVP-NS91000ES is the first combination player in the ES range to include an i.Link (IEEE 1394) interface digital output for the DSD signal. The NS9100ES also includes HDMI and up-scaling to 1920 x 1080i, Precision Cinema Progressive, 14-bit /216 MHz video D/A converter and Audio-Video SYNC.

This new player is ideal for a high quality home cinema installation. The inclusion of HAT (High quality digital Audio Transmission System) technology overcomes the problem of jittery signal caused by the 1-bit DSD conveying high data rates. HAT incorporates three principal elements, variable-speed transmission from the player, buffer memory in the receiver and command signals from the receiver to the player, controlling transmission speed.

To watch the commercial you may require some patience. But for me the wait was worth it.

Find pictures on the making off this commercial on Flickr.
