It’s not a dignis case, but there’s this one on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/iGadgitz-U63...alkman+nw-a45+case&qid=1663857419&sr=8-6&th=1

although I personally use the Sony CKS case designed for the A40. It’s not leather, but is still really nice.

Thank you both of you, I will check out both options

Wav plays no problem but can't be tagged. Tags works fine in formats that support it. Album art can either be embedded in the tracks or it can be a file in the folder with the same name as the folder. With the stock fw only baseline and not progressive art is supported but the WalkmanOne modded fw supports both formats

So I actually got the Tags working with WAV files using the Music Center application. Only the artwork does not show, progressive or baseline.

Also can A55 handle large cover art files (>10MB)? As a separate file per-album, not embedded.

Any luck with this?

Hey everyone I got it to work. Album Art does work with WAV files. I followed the guidelines here.

Also battery life last longer with WAV files versus FLAC files.

Hope this help anyone as much as it helped me!

That makes sense since no processing is required to decode a wav file and some say wav sounds better but on the other hand wav files are also bigger.

Sony obviously then support the extensions to wav that allows tacking (I didn’t know that) but that might not be true for all daps or computer playback apps

After some personal tests of my own, I agree that WAV files do sound better than FLAC files but that’s a rabbit hole I’d rather not get into on here lol. I also think WAV files are worth the extra space.

Agreed. Apple, and now Sony are the only two companies that I know support tags and album art for WAV files.

Has anyone tested the Fiio L27 cable to use with the Sony NW-A55 and Chord Mojo? I couldn’t get it to work with mine.

 

[DJtheAudiophile]

Hello all, I’m looking to purchase a cable from Lavricables to connect the A55 to the Chord Mojo. In the option do I select OTG enabled or disabled?

It should have the WM termination - it doesn't seem to be an option at your link

I have the Sony Walkman WM-NWM10 Adapter that takes in micro usb so I should be good. I don’t know if I select OTG enabled or disabled

Can someone please compare the audio quality output of NW-A55L with Walkmanone FW against my current DAP - LG v30 phone.

Considering to buy because of the custom
FW sound quality.

Just picked up the a55 and installed the custom firmware and it's sounds really impressive for something so inexpensive. Running it with my Etymotic er3se. I really like the size of this dap too. One thing I don't really like is the plastic back.

Put a rubber cover on it and you will never notice it. But, it will sound the same.
