Gefen Adds HDMI Adapters

Gefen last week announced two new adapters which are designed to link DVI and digital audio and component sources to HDMI displays. The new DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter and Component Audio to HDMI Adapter are priced at $299 and $199 respectively and should be available shortly.

The DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter, said Gefen, allows one to send HD video to a display with digital audio in TOSlink and S/PDIF formats. It comes equipped with one DVI, one TOSlink and one S/PDIF input. The Component Audio to HDMI Adapter, meanwhile, connects component sources or VGA computers to an HDMI display, bringing HD video together with two channels of audio (left and right) to the display.

Both Adapters are also HDCP pass-through compliant so protected content can be seen with no viewing issues.

Denon updates its network streamer with HDMI and big price bump

Denon DNP-2000NE network media player.

Denon's newest network media player, the DNP-2000NE, comes with several handy improvements, like the ability to connect it directly to your TV via HDMI ARC. While these improvements are welcome, what's a lot less exciting is the price. The DNP-2000NE is $1,599, a massive increase over its predecessor, the DNP-800NE, which Denon launched in 2018 for just $599.

Visually, the DNP-2000NE and 800NE appear to be nearly identical, with a graphic display on the front, accompanied by volume, source, and playback controls, plus a USB port and a headphone jack. You'll find the biggest changes on the back panel. Where the 800NE was restricted to a conservative group of output ports (fixed and variable analog, and digital optical), the 2000NE is awash in ports: the same analog offering, plus two optical inputs, a coaxial digital input, an optical and coaxial digital output, a USB-DAC input for computer connections, and that HDMI ARC input we mentioned earlier.

Master & Dynamic adds Lamborghini editions of its best headphones

Master & Dynamic Lamborghini collection of headphones.

Master & Dynamic (M&D) sees itself as a high-end, boutique maker of personal audio products and in keeping with that vision, it often collaborates with other high-end marques like Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, and Leica. Some of those partnerships, like the one M&D has with Lamborghini, have lasting appeal so the two brands are back with their third collaboration.

You can now buy Lamborghini special edition versions of M&D's current flagship headphones: the over-ear noise-canceling MW75 ($649), the in-ear noise-canceling MW08 Sport wireless earbuds ($399), and the MG20 wireless gaming headphones ($499).

Google TV adds even more free TV to its live guide

Google TV live guide.

For all the attention the Streaming Wars get — and most of that is misguided — free TV is still huge in a world of Netflix and Disney+. And so it's of little surprise to see Google TV today announcing the addition of Tubi, Plex, and Haystack News to its Live tab, giving what it says are more than 800 channels of free TV, all in one place.

They join Pluto TV, which already was integrated, as well as news channels from NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox.
