To start of with, the anticipation for this new Sony Walkman is rather disappointing, alot of people are not impressed with the new line up of Walkmans, little has been said about it, it seems to bring nothing new, compared to previous Walkmans, actually it brings less features. like NO OLED...

My Sony X series has just broken and I heard the new Sony A865 is supposed to be slightly better in terms of sound quality with the new S Master MX amp.  My question though is whether it is better or equal to the SQ of a Cowon player?  I was impressed with the X compared to iPod but still...

Hello,   I will buy either a sony A865 or Cowon j3. So if you have listened to both, can you compare Sony A86x series to Cowon J3? I listen to ambient/new age music like those:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=998wSVIK3eg   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlzH5Mo6NsY   I`m looking...

Hi, i have a sony a828, the sound of this player is awesome for me, but it has only 8gb, and the battery is so bad, now im looking for another player which have nice battery. I see the new sony a865 and it is beautiful, but i think the sq improvement wont be very high, can someone compare this...

Anybody knows if the DACs are at the same level? The amps are definitely not, the S-Master mx sounds way better, but the DAC... I have no idea.   Thanks.

My old cowon s9 and sony x10 died due to some unfortunate accidents, so i recently bought a colorfly c3. While the soundquality was decent, the UI was so clunky and the popping noise after it changes a track annoyed me so much that i am looking for a new, portable and good sounding DAP with...

My main portable rig is a iBasso DX100 + RSA SR-71A + Heir Audio 4.Ai.  Audio bliss.   However, I do a lot of work in my yard, renovation work on my 130 year old house, etc.  My main portable setup isn't exactly portable enough to use when I'm swinging a hammer or mowing the lawn.  Besides...

Which Sony model has a doc that will accomodate this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-Line-Cable-Walkman-Player/dp/B004M172JA   When that Sony is used with the line out cable, does that mean the signal is as clean compared with an iPhone/iPod?

The X10i and the Sony player are new to me.   I have noticed both a general harshness and a slight hiss when these 2 are paired - it's not evident using either of my iPods with the Klipsch; and the other iems in my signature sound great with the A865.   Is it just a difficulty of the...

Hi everyone,   Does anyone know the DAC being used in the new Sony Xperia S phone? Has it got good sound quality? The design is nice and I am considering of getting one. Thanks.

I hear a hiss like tone between songs but not when I go back to the original firmware (by pressing the left button and ON button at the same time).   Is this common? Is there a fix for this noise?   Much thanks.
