Taken from iii Thankyou to WTPooh for his input.........
I can assure you that What HiFi are aware of NXT, and recently sent representatives to the press launch of the newly released NXT technology.
To vaguely quote my source "they have cracked it, after about 10 years of having something that sounded good, they have finally turned it into something that the industry can use."
Take what you want from that, but as ever - if Hitachi chose not to have their products reviewed by a reviewer (which apparently does happen)(and I'm not saying it did or did not on this occaision as I don't know), then there is little any magazine can do. Also, bear in mind the production timescales of a magazine and deadlines for large product comparisons and reviews/photography and editing. If the product wasn't there for the review - it isn't going to be in it !
