Sony will release an SD card for audiophiles

In March, Sony will begin selling an SD 64 Gb memory card worth about $ 155 , which it positions as an audiophile device. According to the company, the card is designed to minimize electrical noise when reading data from it.

It seems that the company's marketers have discovered the demand for luxury products, since last month at CES a new Walkman was introduced , which Sony wants to sell for $ 1,200 apiece. The player is actually a smartphone on the Android 4.2 platform. The software of the player supports many music formats, and on the case there are physical buttons to control the playback of music.

Or maybe the company is trying, like a peasant from a joke, to sell tomatoes more expensive, not because they are better, but because they need money. Sony representatives themselves admit that they are not sure that there is a demand for SD cards at such a price.

Modern players and smartphones access the map quite rarely, caching data when reading. The very presence of "electrical noise", distinguishable when listening, is questionable. Moreover, the portable player is rarely used in a perfectly quiet environment. But if there is such an audiophile - I recommend not to forget to buy an elite ethernet cable with protection against interference for $ 10,000 .
