Japanese electronics company Kenwood recently unveiled a currently unnamed and unpriced CD player that incorporates DTS Surround Sensation. Surround Sensation is a technology that allows listeners to hear surround sound even from conventional two-speaker systems (e.g. stereo headphones & speakers). Kenwood claims that their CD player is the first of its kind.

DTS is neat, sure, but… on a CD player? In an iPod-equipped world? This player had better be real cheap, or at least have a USB/mini-USB port so people can link their DAPs into it. Wonder why they didn’t incorporate DTS into a portable player instead.
