Regarding the EU volume limit, i can compare a Sony NWZ-S745 (bought in 2011, from AccessoryJack) with a Sony NWZ-S754 (purchased from UK). Both units were used with the same supplied noise cancelling in ear headphones, the difference was huge. The S745 beat the eu model by a large margin, in terms of volume output. Unfortunately i'm not expert, but i can safely say, the S754 had a very weak output power/or a huge volume cap. You could listen to it at maximum volume without being loud, at all. And that's sure that it had 1/4 or 1/3 the power of the international model.
Since then i haven't bought, nor i will. another eu version from the Walkman range.
not saying you're wrong not to buy any EU version, as I said above if you can pick freely, then it would make no sense to get the EU one.
but I'm not sure taking 2 different models that are not even this one as an example is significant of anything.
I hate a banana, listened to justin bieber, didn't like what I heard, so banana's not good for music. to me they both have the same kind of legitimacy and scientific rigor ^_^.
I won't destroy my covers as mediaGo has full screen cover display
I have my computer music mostly as flac, and my DAP music as mp3. they're different entities entirely because I tend to hardcode some EQ, crossfeed, or replay gain when needed for different DAPs and different IEMs(and wouldn't like that stuff to ever go back into my library as being the original
