D-EJ985

The D-EJ985 extended that same approach with a lighter body, improved remote behavior, and a slightly more refined day-to-day feel. It retained optical output, strong battery flexibility, and the same core playback system while smoothing out the experience.

This model represents the final stage of refinement. The D-EJ985 is part of the point when the category had already been fully worked out, and improvement came through detail instead of change.
