Everything is best on this player. Quality, Music power.

After a good month or so of research I came to the conclusion that the Sony SRS-X99 was THE speaker that I needed in my life. I was looking for a bigger sound to have in my bedroom as I was using a BOSE Soundlink Mini 2 at the time which, although very good as a portable speaker, is not ideal for use as a permanently home-based speaker. Features that were a must for me were; bluetooth (LDAC a bonus for FLAC files and the like), Wi-Fi for Spotify streaming, audio-in for other older devices, good solid bass, and room filling sound. This speaker matched all of these requirements! Though it does seem quite expensive for what it is at first , it does offer every kind of connectivity you would want with a very good High Fidelity sound that can reach quite remarkable volume levels without a hint of distortion (I think this is to do with the the use of the magnetic fluid dampers in the speakers which allow more power through relatively small speakers). The remote is a bonus and the USB-A playback allows me to play FLAC files from my CD collection without needing to use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi which is a nice feature. By only needing one cable in to the back (the removable power cable) I would say that if you are careful then it could be quite easily moved around your home if you wanted to. I have tried it out in different rooms and can already see this spesker will be good enough for a party so I will be moving it in to my loving room at that point. It's like having a full on Hi-Fi system in a compact rectangular box! I would add pictures to this review but I think the Sony website has plenty of much better quality pictures than I could take! Overall very impressed, thoroughly recommended, met my exact requirements so couldn't be happier!

I have had this for a while and it has been a wonderful investment. Supports Google cast and Apple Play meaning you can cast from iOS and Android devices. The sound stage is wide, crisp and without unnecessary bass that distorts vocals (you can always get the bass adjusting through the app). I have streamed everything from 320kbps mp3 to FLAC to DSDs... it handles it with aplomb. When alone, I often plugin my external DAC (Chord Mojo) and wire it up to listen to good source music (DSDs and FLAC) and it is simply stunning. It auto updates the firmware automatically which takes the update chore away from me. Our big living room would not be the same without it. Highly recommended.
