    Sony NW-A40 Series NW-A45/A46/A47

    I assume we are totally stuck now with USB DAC? I need a WMC-NWH10 to connect an external DAC (in the car) but it seems Sony don't sell this part anymore and onyl options are $$$ on eBay from Japan which I am not going to pay 50% of the player price for the cable - makes more sense to buy a new...

    The Sony 40th Anniversary Walkman Thread

    WM-MW1A seems to be out of stock in a lot of places? (Here in uk). If they are releasing hardware, it's not filed with FCC yet: https://fccid.io/AK8

    The Sony 40th Anniversary Walkman Thread

    The site seems to be to “celebrate Walkman” - hopefully some actual product and not just a marketing idea!

    Android phones and USB DACs

    You would only use the play through Android option if you don't have a DAC connected.

    Android phones and USB DACs

    See my post above on Samsung's broken implementation - reading the UAPP page it affects other samsung devices not just the S5

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Does anyone know what's going on with the Galaxy S5?   When Android 5 was released my ODAC was working native in all apps, which was fantastic. I stopped using the ODAC mobile (well transported to the office) for quite a few months during which there were a couple of OTA Android updates which...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Ok so probably as designed, if I turn it one way it's louder, the other quieter, does what I need so far ;) Will trawl RS and farnell at some point and see what local options are.

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Finally got my o2 together this afternoon, sounding good! Zorrofox does your volume knob sit flush with the panel? I fitted the retaining nut which looks like it should sit under the vol knob but it's proud just wondering what a pre-built looks like (as there from the same place)

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      +1 on DIY :D   Or buy a spare from head'n'hifi I think they sell them seperate.     You can use any jack with o2 if you mount it on the panel not the board, any board mounted jack would need compatible leg arrangements however. I also think you need an isolated jack otherwise if its...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Whilst I was paying the shipping I got a second PCB in case I want to build a second o2 later (in a B3-80 with the ODAC as batteries), agree very high quality as far as I can tell.   I like what you did with the separate ODAC, also what I am planning, what LED did you use in the ODAC the same...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      I had a go at the mouser import but the head'n'hifi kit was better value - also bear in mind Stefan uses the better B2-080 cases with the countersunk bolts rather than the self tappers that stand proud to the panel. Can't fault the kit, has everything needed including PSU with right country...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      According to manual my wife's car is good for about 130MPH and my car 150MPH, this makes my car the "better" car, as it measures with higher performance.   The performance of either in the real world is limited to the traffic flow on the local motorway (freeway) of about 70MPH, so using the...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    The head'n'hifi kit comes with all the values and the SIP sockets, decided against the sockets and just soldered in the 3x and left out the others for 1x for now.    Nice neat job by the way :D

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      So I have low=1x, high=3x, I am using Sennheiser Momentums which on paper are super-easy to drive. The 1x is for the Momentums and the odac as the source, the 3x was just some future proofing and for using 0.5v LOD from an iPod etc.   I don't anticipate using 3x really, it was just a...
