[Old-skool] Ready to set up my NJB3 again, which drivers to go for?

NW-A3000: accessories in the US?
A friend has bought a Sony NW-A3000 from abroad. Is there any US-based retail/web shop that carries accessories for it? (Or maybe a non-US one with reasonable shipping charges, I guess.) Thanks for your help in advance!- konstantinos

NW-A608 & NW-A3000 curiously absent from Sony USA
From what I recall, Sony won't be releasing these models to the US until they improve the SonicStage/Connect software. Take that with a grain of salt though.- konstantinos
