Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC500PK

By Patrick Wignall (cnet.co.uk)

Sony's multi-room audio system lets you store and manage your music on a main server, which comes with speakers and an iPod dock, and stream that audio to a separate unit in another room. It could be easier to use, but it has tonnes of features and ...

Good sound quality ; built-in hard drive and CD player ; DAB radio tuner

Poor user interface ; Internet radio not available on server unit ; slow performance

It may boast a wealth of features, but this multi-room system from Sony is let down by its poor user interface and overall sluggishness

Sony Giga Juke NAS-50HDE

By Nate Lanxon (cnet.co.uk)

At £500, Sony's Giga Juke might seem somewhat expensive for a hi-fi, but it can store 40,000 tracks internally, and its great CD player, DAB tuner and fantastic sound quality make it a very appealing option

Sony NAS-50HDE

By Anonymous (reevoo.com)

Stores a lot of music in one place. Random selection of different 'mood' music is good and you never get fed up of listening to the same songs as there are so many to go through, and you don't know what is coming next. The variety is good and you don't ha...

The CD player is permanently set to 'shuffle' and we cannot get rid of it - very annoying when you want to play something the the order that it comes on an album. We don't seem to be able to delete songs once they are on the x-DJ player, so if you record...
