Interesting, the whole roll out. I think it was artificially postponed to clear out the 35s. If you look for a cheap 35, you cant find anymore..they are all gone...they are smart, they did this so you wouldnt have overlapp in which 35s would be half off.

Any BH Orders here? satisfied with customer service?

B&H Photo pushed to January - Ridiculous And A35s arent reducing in price either lol - Sony playing it smart

ME Tooooo, especially the full metal body (A40 back plate is plastic) Its just the price tag tho...... $700:triportsad::triportsad:

So sent back my A35 to Chruchfield, and cancelled my B&H. No rush to wait on reviews of A45

Hi Fish - here is the purchase page: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1362077-REG/sony_nwa45_b_a45_digital_music_player.html

ok, so Filed my Return to Crutchfield for a refund of $217, and Pre-Ordered the A45 from B& H for $218 (Which comes with free Sony buds--that the A35 did not come with) I wonder what the Solder business is all about? looks like shinier metal? lol. Also what is MQA? just a Hi Res NOOB here...

Does that mean i should return my A35? I am withni the Crutchfield 60 day window

Thanks Itensecure, but I was more asking what 40 has over 35, and whether I should return my 35 as I'm in the Crutchfield 60 day window

Thanks fish:) I saw that 40s had a new solder board - is that a bigg reason to swap out?

Hi all, just bought the A-35 and loving it. Love everything about it, especially the feel in hand. Just found out about A40 and Im in the return period, what should I do?

Sorry to fire up an old thread, but I have a few iPods, and iPod Classic (latest) is my main music driver.  Im starting to get interested in these newer Hi Res players like AK, and was wondering what the chip differences are between lets say an iPod Classic and AK junior?

Hi guys what's taking up the thick space inside these Astell daps? How big can those dac chips be? IPod Classic, the hard drive is taking up the space...so what's taking up 5he thick space inside the Astells?

Couple of hundred, but if they are just as good as my qc15s, ill just keep my qc15s

Then, whats a good one for the AK Jr.?
