Sony XDR-F1HD


This is a $100 (thats no typo) tuner that blows away
the classic super tuners of McIntosh, Marantz,
Sequerra, Accuphase, etc., according to FM experts who
know more than I do."


He referes to this in depth technical review:

It had to happen - the complex, expensive analog filters in their IF strips
that made the classic high performance FM tuners what they were, get
replaced by a DSP that costs a few bucks.


Now, why did they not provide a digital output?
