That's still painful for it to break too :c

It could be worse. Someone could buy a Tia Fourte and sell some limbs

Oh my, I didn't think of that. Lol

Can someone explain this to me? I think I might be real dumb in Sony standards. Checking out their website.
But "Widely used in instrument manufacturing, the copper lends the player it's unique natural. acoustic sound."
but It's a digital audio player........I'm trying to let this sink in.
@Brooko do you happen to have any idea. anyone?

 

[Brooko]

Marketing speak gone nuts I'm afraid. But audiophiles will read it, buy it, then start perpetuating new myths. Looks "purty" though

 

[Intensecure]

What don't you understand? Copper is used for musical instruments so must sound better because resonance, tone and "superior grounding". Like copper cables always give more bass and smooth treble. /Facepalm
Sony make some wonderful stuff, but when they go full audiophile they sell the snake oil better than anyone else!

 

[JaeYoon]

I definitely admit the sony A35 and some other products they have are excellent too.

A35 for 100 something with 30 hours of battery is pretty neat!

But @Brooko and @Intensecure
Love you both.

Theres a lot of stuff right on website that is hella mythology.

I had no idea their special lead free soldering apparently makes vocals and sound clearer, etc.

Uhhh....hey, look, shiny? I mean, there's all that sorta "talk" about metal casing being better for reduction of EMI, but you ever seen a difference between the same DAPs in both metal and plastic casing? As far as I'm concerned, it's just a choice of which finish you like better. Depending on size I'd probably choose metal just because I like its solid feel more often than not. There are some great plastic finishes out there though.

Well, after all, lead is very heavy. So of course it was weighing the vocals down, lol.

That one really got me too! The new A45 has MQA (dubious need) and the ability to be used as external DAC/AMP (That's big, and if I didn't have the e17k already I would have waited for the new model, so it has valid selling points already, but audiophiles might not be convinced - so what can we add?
Ah, Magic Solder! Win-win, get the objectivists and the subjectivists in one marketing sweep. Genius.

They also make musical instruments out of wood as well as copper/brass like mahogany, rosewood,ebony and koa. A dap made from ebony or koa “wood”look pretty cool, as for it changing the sound is anyone’s guess
On a more serious note @moedawg140 is going in for surgery today, wish him all the best and hope to see him back to his best soon. Good luck fella

[rr12267]

@grs8 extremely sorry to hear about your brother.

 

[barondla]

@grs8 so sorry for your loss.

 

[grs8]

Thanks @rr12267 and @barondla two years gone by so fast. Two days before his 44th birthday. That remembers me that life can be so short and we should enjoy more of our time with family and friends (and our hobby of course).

 

[KEV G]

@grs8 my sympathies
