Apparently the MSRP in general has been bumped down to $150 for the A45, which means that it's basically 30% cheaper now. No clue why they did this, buy I believe it has something to do with it being replaced by the new A50 that'll likely be introduced in the near future.
For the restrictions, read previous replies, I believe the wired form uses an analog signal hence the DA conversion takes place in the DAP and not the headphones. So in short, the headphones won’t receive a digital signal at allFinally bit the bullet and purchased the A45. I wanted to buy it last year in the US in Oct/Nov but they changed the date of release. Managed to get one for £100 so very happy (in black but would have preferred moonlit blue).
Just a few questions ...
Anyone use this player with the B&W PX ? How do they sound together ? Is there much difference wired compared to AptX HD ? As I think the PXs still use the internal DAC when wired.
As it's a UK spec player what needs to be done to move the EU sound restrictions and enable playlists ? Is there anything else that needs to be done to the player ?
Thanks
