Sooo here are a few listens impressions: the music seems slightly more bloated compared to my Cayin N3. I can also very well hear the poor quality of my mp3s much more with the Sony than the N3. I love love love the UI and it's so much better than the N3, imo. I was also surprised that it was thinner and lighter than the N3. The problem, though: it takes about 10 minutes for all of my . music to load, just like how it was when I had the Fiio X1. The N3 was immediate with loading...
This is still a good buy for me because I was so tired of my N3. I can't wait to break it in some more!
After 3 days of use, I’m starting to get used to this dap. I just pulled out my 1AM2 with a Penon Hi-Fi Balanced adapter and listened to the A55 and I’m in LOVE!!!!! Wheeewwwww! I think these two are an excellent pair. I was originally listening with the Sony WI-1000X behind the neck earbuds which I got on Dec. 19th and I love them so much, but they’re just slightly darker when listening to the A55. I think this is what made me initially feel it was too bloated.
