Samsung's YA-BS900 won't deliver any jams in 5.1, but it most certainly is "Hyper-Directional," for whatever that's worth. The interestingly designed speaker touts Bluetooth technology, claims to be "3-channel" in nature and possesses the innate ability to play back tunes streamed in with your BT-enabled cellphone or DAP. Furthermore, the unit will take Ozzy down a notch if it notices that a Bluetooth phone is answered, but we're not told what other inputs (you know, like a totally convenient 3.5-millimeter jack) are included. Per usual, price / availability remain a mystery, but those tidbits can't hide for too much longer.

Bluetooth is stupid way of transferring real time audio for high quality audio, they should have used wifi (AT LEAST) or perhaps UWB..

zirnevis: Bluetooth is perfect for streaming data since all of the upper SW layers are available in the A2DP profile. The data stream only need to be ~200kbit/s which is no problem for Bluetooth to handle.

thats for lowly compressed audio, what about your simple AUDIO CD? does it need only 200kb per second? try to rip it into uncompressed WAV file and see whats the space

If you want CD "quality", please use cables
