After a few days listening to my A306, I can confirm its overall better than my A55 mod in clarity with brighter sounds. Its battery life is also amazing, playing youtube music drained only 8%~9% per hour, and its SQ is also good. By turning on the DSEE Ultimate, songs from youtube music seems to have fullier mids , better dynamics and extensions. BTW, I have to change my router channel setting in order to make my JP version A306 able to detect the 5G signal. I think A306 is a very good alternative to the dongle/phone synergy for streaming, needless to say its SQ of playing files is great too !
