Thanks for the suggestions but can I ask how you would connect the two together.
Is the Sony 3.5 a line out or would you be double amping .

It is double amping .. AFAIK walkmans with type c usb don't have line out

Can I ask who double amping affect sound much.

You are welcome ..
From my experience .. not much effect .. some times like to double amp .. some say just keep the volume level of the player at the max or near the max to get a line out level
Some times i like to make the vol. Of the player at half and play with the vol. Knob of the amp ....
My point is : try it yourself.. it is not that bad after all ..not bad at all

So I can confirm no audio output via the USB-C (shame really). That said, I recently went with the Fii0 BTR7, and while bluetooth seems to fit the bill for me. You might at least take a look at it. Not what you're wanting (using Sony's DAC), but certainly an option.

Sony uses digital amp technology, so basically, it likes Chord DACs, does not need to worry about "double amping", this was discussed in this forum, you can find it to read more.

anyone else have a wobbly 3.5mm jack? when my headphones are in, i can wobble the jack in all directions. it doesnt do anything to the output but it does seem a bit disconcerting for future.

ive tried the same headphones in different jacks and its definitely only the sony.

cheers

Sony - from days of walkman X- are making what so called an isolated socket or island socket or something like that .. which means that the headphone socket is suspended or isolated from the board and connected to it by wires and fixed in the body of the player ..
If the movement thing is not excessive and in range of half mm or so it is normal my both sony walkman X and zx1 have that very slight movement of headphone jacks

If you are talking about AVLS, then before it could be disabled in the settings. Or is this already something new?

It was mentioned at the first 10 pages or so ... but just stay away from euro/USA units ...
