Sony has just lifted the curtain on its NAS-M700HD, NAS-M500HD and CMT-E300HD system. The M500 and M700 come with a storage capacity of 160GB, 4.3" LCD screen, two USB ports, Ethernet, WM-PORT, analog audio out, headphone out, and provide an output power of 2x20W (8Ω). They are also DLNA 1.0 certified (you'll be able to receive data from your system from any Sony device, like MP3 player...), and can reproduce MP3 / ATRAC / WMA audio files. The M700 version also features an MD Player.


The CMT-E300HD is the baby of the range, coming with half the storage space, USB ports and falters badly as it is unable to reproduce MP3 audio from a CD. The NAS-M700HD, NAS-M500HD and CMT-E300HD will retail for €550, €420 and €300, respectively.
