Water-cooled projectors. 1,000Hz gaming monitors. A turntable that also plays CDs. On paper, that sounds like a list of products no one would try to combine—but this week, they all became very real.

In this HTR Weekly Roundup, we’re breaking down the standout gadgets and announcements that landed over the past few days. Some push performance to new extremes, others rethink familiar tech, but all of them hint at where audio and display gear is headed next.

Mixx Analog Plus: One Box for Vinyl and CD Collectors

Mixx Audio’s Analog Plus is a fully automatic belt-drive turntable with a twist: the CD player lives in the middle of the platter, so your records and discs share the same spinning surface. It handles records at 33/45 RPM, plays CDs, and adds Bluetooth 5.3 so you can beam everything to wireless speakers or headphones. With an easy-going Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, standard RCA outputs, and a roughly $400 price, it targets people who want a serious starter deck without juggling separate players. Read more.

Shanling CT90: A CD Transport for People Who Already Own a Great DAC

Shanling’s new CT90 heads in the opposite direction: no streaming, no built-in DAC, just a high-end CD transport for systems that are already dialed in. A Philips DA11 mechanism and Sanyo servo handle disc playback, including CDs and MQA-CDs. On the back you’ll find dual AES/EBU, coax, optical, USB-C, and HDMI I2S with selectable pinouts, plus an upsampling engine that can push CD audio up to PCM 768 kHz or DSD512 over I2S. At $899, it’s for listeners who still baby their disc collection and want the transport to be as serious as the rest of their gear. Read more.

Samsung’s 2026 Odyssey Monitors: 6K 3D and a 1,040 Hz Flex

Samsung’s 2026 Odyssey lineup is basically a tech demo you can actually buy. The 32-inch Odyssey 3D G90XH is a 6K monitor with glasses-free 3D using real-time eye tracking, and it can run at 6K/165 Hz or switch to 3K/330 Hz in Dual Mode. If you care more about raw speed, the 27-inch Odyssey G6 G60H is a QHD panel that runs at 600 Hz natively and can hit a wild 1,040 Hz in Dual Mode. Pricing lands at CES 2026, but expect both to sit firmly in enthusiast territory. Read more.

Hisense XR10: Water-Cooled Laser Projection Up to 300 Inches

Hisense’s XR10 laser projector is built for people who think 100 inches is just a warm-up. It’s designed to drive a 300-inch screen and adds speckle suppression to smooth out the shimmer laser projectors can show on bright images. Instead of relying only on fans, it uses a sealed microchannel liquid-cooling system to keep noise down and performance stable. Setup is helped along by 0.84–2.0x zoom, lens shift, AI-assisted keystone correction, and built-in VIDAA streaming apps, all wrapped in a transparent chassis that shows off the hardware. Read more.

LG Tandem WOLED and Tandem OLED: New Labels, Real Tech Story

LG Display is refreshing how it talks about its OLED panels with two names you’ll see a lot in 2026: Tandem WOLED and Tandem OLED. Tandem WOLED adds a white sub-pixel to the usual RGB stack for extra brightness and is meant for big-screen TVs and gaming monitors. Tandem OLED skips the white layer and stacks RGB sub-pixels instead, focusing on thin, efficient displays for laptops and tablets. LG is also teasing a “Primary RGB Tandem 2.0” update, an evolution of the tech used in 2025 sets like the LG G5, which it will show at CES 2026. Read more.

FiiO Snowsky Disc: Tiny Retro Player, Modern High-Res Brain

FiiO’s Snowsky Disc is a palm-size music player with a circular touchscreen for album art and basic controls. It’s built around local listening: a microSD slot supports up to 2TB of storage—around 8,000 albums—so you can go all-in on offline music. When you do need wireless, there’s Wi-Fi for AirPlay and updates plus Bluetooth with LDAC for high-res streaming. A 3.5 mm jack and 4.4 mm balanced output make it just as happy with everyday earbuds as with more demanding audiophile cans. Read more.

DALI Sonik Series: Seven Speakers for Real-World Systems

DALI’s new Sonik lineup is a seven-speaker family built to carry some of the brand’s higher-end thinking into normal-people systems. You get Sonik 1 and 3 bookshelf speakers; Sonik 5, 7, and 9 floorstanders; a Sonik On-Wall model; and the Sonik Cinema center. Every model uses a new 29 mm soft-dome tweeter with an aluminum faceplate and trickle-down design cues from DALI’s flagship lines. The goal is to make it easier to build a stereo or surround setup that feels aspirational without tipping into truly high-end pricing. Read more.
