EISA AWARDS. BEST IN-CAR HD PLAYER 2016-2017 - Sony RSX-GS9

With its 1DIN housing and a rotary control, Sony’s RSX-GS9 may look like an old school head unit, but behind its stripped-down face plate this high resolution audio system is a cutting-edge sonic superstar. It offers support for up to 192kHz/24-bit PCM and 5.6MHz DSD via USB memory stick, hard drive and external digital high-resolution music players, while the optical output allows digital connection to an external DSP. Smartphone apps grant users the ability to play music from streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal. The use of the best available DAC, high-end op-amps and advanced circuitry ensure that the RSX-GS9‘s audio performance is nothing less than sensational. All of which means that the benefits of high-resolution music can finally be enjoyed from your dashboard. For these reasons it has won the EISA AWARD.
