New Sony Walkman NW-A300 Series (Android 12)

Yeah I get what you mean... Why having 5% more in sound quality, when you get 30% more annoyance from the weight and chunkiness.
And often it's not 5% more, just 5% different.

I went all the way to a 1ZM2, then dropped to a 1AM2 and now perfectly happy using either my A307 or my Fiio BTR7.

Spend your big money on the IEM's for the stepped improvement in SQ IMO.

My next purchase is likely a Mojo2 after having owned a Mojo1 (and trialled a Hugo2), but more for curiosity than any great expectations.

Yes I will and thank you. Couldn’t believe my luck to be honest . Now to get a case.
If you're in the UK I can highly recommend the Miter faux leather cases on Amazon. I've got the blue one. Others might disagree but I think it fits brilliantly. Good luck 🤞

Yes it is a bargain.
It wasn’t posted as a Japanese version but I knew from the photo it wasn’t a UK version so one question later to confirm region and google play store , I couldn’t check out quick enough!

Yes Monerjoner that case looks classy I am considering that one.
Out of curiousity what did you see in the photo?

Appreciate the sincerity! Been there, done that so you don't have to, really helpful to me, thank you!

I was wondering about the Mojo, and how much better sound will be if you connect it to the Sony... Hope you can give us some feedbacks once you get it!

The Sony makes an excellent digital transport for the Mojo2. Sonically it is better than using a computer/laptop, but about the same as any iDevice or high quality Android phone.

The Mojo2 will be a nice change from the Sony with more driving power, resolution, and soundstage. I find the A306 and Mojo2 to be complimentary and not competing.

i used EQ preset for Vocal and it tamed the bass quite bit and sounds more controlled now and signifcantly less bloated. So im quite happy with my setup :)
Hey there, sorry for such a late question on your post, but would you be able to share your EQ preset by any chance?
And btw, if anyone else has some secret sauce to share, I would gladly give a taste of it :).
Thanks!

Alright, I don't want to take the plunge for now, but you got me excited on that option!

I agree its a nice change, I stack em up too from time to time.
However, I cant get tidal nor apple music coming out from the mojo2. Did you try to stream with the mojo2?

I use Qobuz and Roon with no issues.

Cable issue maybe? Do you use UAPP or BubbleUPnP?
