Denon’s DVD-A1UD: world’s first universal (SACD / DVD-A) Blu-ray player

Okay, so Denon wares aren’t exactly “cheap,” but you can’t knock it for trying to innovate. Despite that fact that about eight people on this Earth still care about their beloved SACD / DVD-Audio collections, Denon has developed a Blu-ray player specifically for them. The DVD-A1UD is hailed as the world’s first universal BD deck, and it features a black (shown after the break) or silver motif, SD / SDHC card slot, DivX support, HDMI 1.3, 1080p60 / 1080p24 output, internal decoding of DTS-HD Master Audio / Dolby TrueHD, 7.1-channel analog outputs, Denon LINK and all sorts of sophisticated pixel / audio restoration technologies. Better still, users who buy in can look forward to a Profile 2.0 update in the near future. Not surprisingly, the decked-out player will ship in Japan next month for a patently astounding ¥546,000 ($5,860), so you’ll probably be stuck dreaming about it unless your ship rolls in.

Adtec announces two adorable, tiny projectors

With nearly every company (seriously, basically all of them) rolling out a tiny projector, it’s getting pretty hard to stand out from the crowd — and Adtec’s two new MP15A Series projectors don’t look like they’re going to push the envelope in any way. Specwise, they’re going to be nearly identical to the rest of the bunch, with 15 ANSI lumens, a 200:1 contrast ratio, and VGA 640 x 480 resolution, and they’ll boast an LED lamp with about a 20,000 hour life. The two models — the 15AW is white, 15AB is black — will be available in December and January, respectively, but only in Japan. No word on a possible release in other, pico-starved areas of the globe yet.

Buffalo unveils 16GB and 32GB SSDs for Inspiron Mini 9

It looks like the kids at Buffalo are hard at work making sure that all of you netbook-lovin’ Engadget readers aren’t stuck with the minimal storage that has plagued early adopters of the solid state drive. In addition to their recent Eee PC-compatible SSDs, the company is now offering 16GB and 32GB drives for Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9. Due out sometime this month, the 16GB should set you back ¥5,300 ($57), or you can shell out ¥9,400 ($101) for the 32GB.

Motorola Krave ZN4 available from Verizon Wireless

Motorola took design cues from its own Ming and cooked up a clear flip, full touchscreen phone. The Krave ZN4 isn’t that exciting except for its clear flip design. With Krave, you get the usual set of features like a 2.8-inch screen, up to 8GB memory, Bluetooth with A2DP, GPS and a 2 megapixel camera. [...]

Road To Maker Faire, Literally

Hot off our inboxes, from Mikey:

We are driving to the Austin Maker Faire from the SoCal area.

We’re planning on taking our time on the drive there — I was wondering if there’s anyway I can ask the blog.makezine.com collective intelligence to suggest some places to stop at along the way that would be fun/interesting to makers.

Dear readers, where would you stop?

Here’s an idea of what the route might be like:

Please comment below with suggestions for where to stop, and if we’re lucky Mikey will send us photos and more!

To get us started, I’ll propose a detour to the Earthship community in Taos, New Mexico. These off-the-grid rammed earth houses are a beautiful example of architecture in harmony with nature. And, there’s a really nice hot springs within 2 miles!
