SONY NWZ-A10 Series

[AUDIOBREEDER]

  I meant to add to the above post about acquiring a leather cover from Korea - it arrived yesterday.  Not cheap, but very attractive and offers good protection without increasing the bulk significantly.
 

You're showing at the bottom!

Excellent case as I am using one myself. The only thing I wish is the leather on the front's bottom could have extended just 1mm more to completely cover the front panel instead of leaving just a tiny bit out, as you can see on the picture.

Still uploading music but now to walkman, this walkman is faster to transfer compared to ´previous ones, tought MusicBee does not show speed
 

 

 

 

 
The NWZ-A17 Took 1 hour 50 minutes to copy 41.9GB (my entire W.A. Mozart collection)

The unit needs to be pushed in more, my a15 sits flush, try slowly stretching it, by applying even pressure at the back and holding it there for a bit.

Greetings everyone!
 
I apologize if this has been asked/answered but does anyone have the link where I can order the Dignis case for the A17?
Any information would be appreciated!
 
Thanks!

I bought direct as there is no other way in Australia apart from Amazon, you can contact them on this email dignisdesign@gmail.com , the case is a piece of art,
Dignis   are a fantastic business to deal with, and I recommend them highly.

None of my flacs have CUE files, what am I missing? What does it do?

When you rip a whole album into one single FLAC files, it generates a CUE sheet file to tell the playback software / hardware the length and position of each individual song within this one single FLAC track, so you can skip over songs quickly instead of press and holding forward all the time. Obviously if you already rip the whole album song by song, you don't need a CUE sheet.

Ah now I remember, used those back in the day for CD rips.

I use DbPower Amp which makes individual flacs with full data / art.

I am in the process of selecting headphones for my a15.
Currently between sony mdr-1a and audio technica m50x. Would love the nad hp50 but nowhere to be found in my country (greece)
Which would you recommend?
The m50x are becoming an all time classic but mdr-1a maybe a better choice for the a15. I am also going to use them on an iphone 5s.

Sony mdr-1a is excellent with a17.  It's very well matched.  Sony pairs them for demos for a reason.
Very easy to drive as I didn't notice any improvement testing my mdr-1a with my A17 w/ a Cypher Labs Picollo external amp.  It actually sounded better direct from the A17.
Also tried the V-moda 100 and it sounded much better off the Picollo than the A17 instead.  I guess the V-moda needed more juice.
The V-moda XS however was pretty good off of the A17 though.  It's a more efficient set than the 100 I guess.
Either way, the mdr-1a was better.
 
If I were you, I would test any heaphones you're considering directly with the a17 as it's a sensitive child due to it's weak amp section.
I would make sure they are 105+db in response and below 32ohms (athough some have said it's fine with some higher impedance sets).
