Onkyo Japan has announced the TX-NA5007 and TX-NA1007, the company’s first Windows 7 ready amplifiers. The TX-NA5007 (200x9ch) and the TX-NA1007 (180Wx9ch) are both sexy in black and also DLNA compliant. Both support Dolby NR Professional Logic IIz, , Dolby NR TrueHD, DTS-HD Mater and playback of WAV (linear PCM)/WMA (DRM)/WMA Lossless/MP3/AAC/FLAC/Ogg Vorbis formats.

Both the models have plenty of HDMI ports. You’ll find 8 on one and 6 on the other, along with 2 outputs. They should hit Japanese stores by September 11.

There are iPod accessores and then there are IPOD ACCESSORIES. The latter is the one we look at here with the new Krell KID and Papa Dock, priced at around $1,500 and $2,500, respectively.

Krell, which also has a nice $50k preamp/processor, does up iPod accessories like we haven’t really seen before. The KID itself is best described as an iPod dock on steroids, boasting such features as using fully differential output of the internal DAC for iPod-devices, digitally-controlled analog bass and treble controls and balance and single ended outputs.
