Sony DSX-GS900 - Digital media receiver (does not play CDs)

Big in every way

Sony's DSX-GS900 digital media receiver makes a bold statement — it's big, stylish, feature-packed, and delivers 45 watts RMS per channel thanks to a built-in Class-D amplifier. That's big power, once reserved for external power amps. You can send 45 watts to each of your front and rear speakers or, since the amp is 2-ohm stable, you can power your front and rear speakers with the front channels and run a sub with the rear — that's versatility! You can tweak that output with an impressive array of sound-shaping tools, including a 10-band EQ, time alignment, and comprehensive frequency filters.

Lots of music options, plus voice control

Get more from your smartphone in the car. Sony makes voice control a cinch though your Android™ or with Siri on iPhone®. Plug in your phone to either the front or rear USB inputs to access your stored music files. And if you love your Pandora® stations, Sony lets you control over the app from the receiver.

Bluetooth®, of course

Bluetooth is a must for easy, hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming from your phone, so of course, Sony built it into the DSX-GS900. You'll also be able to connect two phones to the stereo at the same time — one for calling and streaming, and one just for calling.
