As a rule, products sold in the US can be either way. Most
are still 120-only but a lot of new stuff with 100-250 volt
switchmode supplies seem to be appearing on the market. Hard
to predict. Ask the vendor/manufacturer.

At this point the list of audio gear that gets flustered by
50/60 Hz issues is very small.

Thank you all for your tips. Unfortunately Sony did not answer to my email
yet. They surely are not happy that I want to buy this device in the USA
(190 Euros) in comparison to Germany, savings of 300 Euros
