The Directed Electronics Soloist Universal Sound System will be honored with the Innovations Award at the 2007 CES show in January.

The Soloist includes interchangeable cradles to dock different SIRIUS receivers that use the universal connector (like the Starmate4, Sportster4, and of course the Stiletto) not to mention docking support for the iPod. The Soloist comes with a SIRIUS home antenna, remote and MSRP's at $149.

Soloist also uses a patented "SurfaceSound" flat panel technology by NXT(R), and is powered by a 20 watt Tripath amplifier. It comes with front panel AUX IN and headphone jacks, rear panel AUX IN and OUT, rear panel USB port, and a built-in alarm clock with snooze button, which can wake the user to their favorite SIRIUS station or iPod song.

Orbitcast will be doing a hands-on review of the Soloist as soon.
