In addition to debuting its not-quite-4K Aquos Quattron+ televisions at the International CES, Sharp also unveiled a new line of audio components primarily focused on wireless functionality.
The biggest news on the audio front is Sharp’s new Universal Player (pictured above) and Wireless Bridge, a combined system that the company claims is the first home solution with the ability to transmit uncompressed sound at 24-bit/96kHz and video at full HD (1080p) wirelessly.
Although not for the casual home-entertainment user –- it costs $3,999 –- the Universal Player seems to be a simple-to-operate tool aimed at audiophiles who are usually more accustomed to elaborate set-ups and controls.
The Universal Player and the associated Wireless Bridge ($599) are scheduled for a spring release.
Sharp also unveiled a new line of Bluetooth devices, including the XL-HF202P component system ($249.99) that turns your iPhone into the brain of a full-fledged stereo-component system, as well as the beautifully designed GX-BT7 (pictured above) Bluetooth and NFC-enabled wireless speaker ($199.99). Both products are set to hit the market this spring.
