Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!
the HD58X looks pretty interesting, and that 160$ price! But I already had one Sennheiser, so I wanted to try a planar (but I am very interested in the AKG712 too as I'd like to have a pair of headphones with great soundstage, but the sub 100€ tag price was too appetizing to resist it and I'm...- BroncoVA

Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!
I received today a T50RP. I always wanted to have a planar and Amazon had one at 89€ I should receive the Shure 1540 ear pads tomorrow (and some mad dogs knock off from China in a month or so). So far I love the details, totally another thing compared to my Sennheiser HD600, but I couldn't...- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
I didn't check in the settings, mine went off while I was sitting near it and I hadn't listen to music since the night before it's the reason why I found out about that behavior. Will check later if there's a 12/24h option, 24h is fine for me.- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
did you notice that it switches off after 24 hours in pause, or is it only mine that is doing that?- BroncoVA

The initial scan on the boot is really the only annoying thing, except for that tiny problem the nwa55 is really a great DAP. Maybe the possibility of typing a search by name, song or author would be nice but then it would be nearly perfect for 168€ :)- BroncoVA

Never bought a Sony sd card, mine is a Samsung 512gb and it was recognised without a problem. Those with 1tb could give their feedback though, it would be interesting.- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
On the Sony site they say the nwa50 line supports up to 2 TB https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/articles/00171492 It's annoying but truly you can just pause the dap and once your screen switches off you can go for days and I just saw today that after a while in pause (more than 24 h)...- BroncoVA

I tried the EQ a Youtuber recommended : +6 at 60hz +3 at 1KHz -3 at 6.3KHz +6 at 16KHz to imitate some W shaped EQ. It's not bad: the instruments (while listening to some CAN Peel Session) seem playing more in a choral, they are more binding; with EQ=OFF the instruments are...- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
So, i've played with my new toy and i really love it. First impression: it's really tinier than i thought, but perfect for music on the go. Until now i really don't see the benefit of ClearAudio, it distorts too much the music. I've put DSEE HX, DC Phase Linearizer and Dynamic Normalizer on...- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
No, it's grey. Made in Malaysia. There's no way to know its region without going into the DOS simulator thing? I'm transferring right now on the sd card (512GB formatted in a wink) so i'm looking for any info concerning the region that i could deduce from the packaging.- BroncoVA

DAP has arrived, first of all it's really a beautiful device. You recognise right away Sony's quality materials. It's a NW-A55BM and i can't find what the letters BM are for? Is it a region? Is it capped?- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
I'm on a Hackintosh (like a Mac, but better because cheaper :) )so i can't use Music Center (i don't use Windows on my Mac, nor do i have a Windows PC available...). I guess i'll just have to drop my music directly on my SD card, not an issue. Thanks for the tip though ,) edit: For my case i...- BroncoVA

Sony NW-A50 Series
Yeah thanks! i read that in here. I'll format on the DAP so it will surely make the Music folder during the operation (i guess). For what i've read i should then transfer my music from my computer via a card reader (faster than directly on the DAP via the Sony cable?). I just hope i'll be able...- BroncoVA

The NW-A55 should arrive on Monday. So i don't say it's the first thing i'll try (first i'll have to format my sd card, put all my music on it and do the uncap thing) but I'll definitely try the EQ once all is set (if nothing goes wrong i should be able to write about it on Tuesday or Wednesday)- BroncoVA
