Apparently SonicBlue, makers of the ReplayTV and Rio range of MP3 products has been bought out of bankruptcy by D&M Holdings for $36 million and change. [via i4U]

For those of you not familiar with the name, this is the Tokyo based owner of Denon and Marantz, two very high end audio equipment brands. This is a very interesting move, because I have a good mate who works with an associate company, and I know for a fact that Marantz has been looking for an MP3 technology buy-in for over 2 years.

Start looking out for Marantz professional quality MP3 products real soon now.
