Not a whole lot new in Kenwood's 30GB Media KEG HD30GA9 from their previous 1.8-inch drive based player, the
20GB HD20GA7 (except that hottastic name, that is), but
it looks like this time around they're taking a bend toward the consumer a little more concerned about the quality of
their audio. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on here, but it apparently has a "new clear" digital amp, a well
RF-shielded chassis, "Supreme" decompression technology, which is apparently another one of those
make-your-MP3s-sound-better systems, as well as support for some format they're calling "Kenwood Lossless" (what, FLAC
or APE weren't good enough for them?). You can get yours with sound-isolating canalphones in Japan shortly, but no word
on when (or if) they're States-bound.
