Is the a55 discontinued? I can't find it new anywhere here in Italy

Same in Germany... it seems so...but price for the A105 has dropped to 199 EUR at Amazon.de ... I guess Sony wants to push its new android series...

Has anyone managed to use nwdesttool on linux?
I copy the scsitool_64-nwz-v27 file to the root directory of the player,
then issue the command as root: sudo ./scsitool / dev / sdX dest_tool get

the answer is command not found.

Just navigate into the executable directory.... Just to be sure:
chmod +x scsitool_64-nwz-v27
Then
.sudo ./scsitool_64-nwz-v27 /dev/sdX dest_tool get

Where X is the letter of your walkman

Hello
Thank you for your quick help
I typed: root @ debian:/home/user # chmod + x scsitool_64-nwz-v27
chmod: cannot access 'scsitool_64-nwz-v27': No such file or directory

root@debian:/home/user# chmod +x scsitool_64-nwz-v27
chmod: cannot access 'scsitool_64-nwz-v27': No such file or directory

Seems to be you don't have scsitool_64-nwz-v27 in the /home/user/

use ls to list files and directories ad cd to go inside the directory...
Is it probably under Download?
try cd Download

Or just...

wget https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/SonyNWDestTool/scsitool_64-nwz-v27

This command will download the tool in your current directory

II downloaded the scsitool file to the root directory of the player. Don't you have to be there?

 

[Tommaso]

No you gm have to run the tool from the host operating system...type

cd ~
Then wget .....
Then chmod +x ...
Then ./scsitool_64-nwz-v27 /dev/sdX dest_tool get
Where you should change the X... To know possible choices just ls /dev/

Has anyone tried the A55 with the HD600? Can it drive them loud enough?

July has arrived so I will start checking https://thewalkmanblog.blogspot.com/ periodically for any mention of new Sony DAP's submitted to the FCC for approval. Really hoping Sony hasn't abandoned their Linux based DAP's.

i drive Toyota RAV4 2019 which i believe uses Entune 3.0 system...anyone connected a55 to something similar or whats ur experience with any car stereo?

Has anyone done any real comparissions on battery life with DSEE HX on and off? I'm on the custom DMP-A50 FEv2 and I'm experiencing battery drain compared to specs. Iv'e been using DSEE HX and phase linear because it sounded the best to my ears. Altough I can't really say for sure if I would pass a blind test or not. I just thought that if the difference is a lot when it comes to the battery life it might not even be worth using these feautures since I'm only playing 16/44 or more anyway.

If you use Plus mode you'll consume an extra 20-25% and using dsp effects consumes a further 10-20% extra depending on which and how many

I'm never using the plus mode. But always phase linear and DSEE HX. So that would be around 20% extra right?

Do these have an oleophobic coating on the screen? It attracts fingerprints so easily.
Ps - I asked above but got no reply so please allow to ask again, can the Walkman drive 300ohm headphones like the HD600?
