Hello!
Been stalking this thread for quite a while before making a purchase of a Sony NW A16 MGS. I am a big fan of the Metal Gear games and I saw that Sony was releasing a special version of the A-10 just for MGSV:TPP. I am new to HiRez audio but with such a sweet player I definitely want to get the most out of it. This thread has been a wealth of information, and please correct me if I have asked something already answered in the many pages.
I have a couple of questions if you guys could help me that would be awesome.
1. I assume my product is region locked and therefore stuck in Japanese? I knew this was probably the case and I know a little Japanese and have already figured out a couple of the menu options but I just wanted to know if anyone knew about this particular model.
2. Related to "1" can anyone share some images of the basic menus/settings page in English and I can try and match up that for my version. From the Japanese unboxing videos to some press photos it looks like lots of the items are in the same place, I figure anything from the A-10 series could help me.
3. I just updated the firmware using the Media-GO app I found on this thread, and those patch notes were in Japanese Its ok to update Japanese player with English version of Media Go? I hope they would release and English option down the line but I doubt it.
4. Would these Sennheiser HD 598 (http://amzn.com/B0042A8CW2) be good match for the A16? I have the PC360's for PC gaming through my Creative Zxi sound card and they sound great. I was hoping these would too considering they look similarly designed. I was also seeing some Sony AINC thing which I figured was something paired for Sony Headphones?
5. If there is anything else you guys think would be important to point out to a new Walkman owner, specifically the A10 Series please let me know.
Thank you so much!
