Up until now i've always thought avls=EU volume cap. But now it makes sense. Thanks for the enlightenment :)

Thank your for the input, now i am relieved.   i ll enjoy it wholeheartedly

So today my A16 from Hong Kong arrived. I bougth it from accessoryjack.  Browsing through the settings i ve spottetd the infamous avls Setting.My unit lacks the CE marking thats  why i am curious .Avls is only a EU implementation so why do i see those settings.Now i am afraid my A16 has  avls...

Where do you guys get your NWZ- A10s from? Is PriceJapan.com the best site to buy them from? Are there any other options? I just need a way arround the EU volume c(r)ap so i don't mind ordering it from the US or Canada either (some suggestion for trusted seller here) .

Quote: Wow just wow . If i ever cross paths with the politicians responsible for this mess i won't garantuee for anything. Does sony implement the volume cap via hardware or software ? i hope they just didn't inrease the impedance

second question I live in the eu and all the DAPs here come with this crappy volume cap, Does this only affect the volume or even SQ? Anyone here who owns a eu region player and a US/Asia player and can tell the differences?

A question for F series owner Does the Stock player allows you to organize your music in folder like this? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/248/img20130522183745.jpg/   I organize all my music files in folders and i would be great if the stock player display them as such
