ZX507 also doesn't have USB DAC mode yes?

to existing owners of the A105,
did you feel that the price bump to ZX500 was not worth it?
or were there other reasons you did not choose to go for the 507

Yea, I misread that about the USB-DAC.
How would I go about cleaning this device up? The only thing I want running on it are the Sony Music app, the headphones app for my WF1000-XM3, the bandcamp app, tasker and drivesync. Do I need an launcher?

nope, unless you need balance out, a105 is one of the best on noise floor control.
also, the A105 is way more compact, on the downside it also has quite low driving power, so the A105 is quite strictly only for IEM and easy to drive Fullsize.
No USB DAC. Software is mostly the same as A105.

Does the NW-A105 work well with Spotify music on the SD card, as the internal memory isn't enough to store the 3k songs Spotify allows? I had a world of hurt with a Cayin with that setup.

Spotify doesn't limit # of tracks saved offline does it?
I have a whole bunch of playlists, one of which has in excess of 3700 tracks! (saved to my Hiby R5 and my cellphone)
I have had some random stoppages recently though, and now I'm wondering if this is why?

Spotify has 3000-track limit per (portable?) device last time a I checked. It doesn't tell or warn you about this anywhere, so it's easy to miss.

Any idea how I'm managing to have so many more tracks saved to my devices then?
Seriously, my 'shuffle all' playlist is 3700+ on it's own, and I have many other playlists (I arrange my tracks into genre playlists, so admittedly they're mostly the same tracks, just saved to more than one playlist).
I also have a bunch of albums which don't appear in my genre lists, they're also saved to my devices, so they must take the count to well over 4000 unique tracks.
Currently I have around 60GB of Spotify stuff saved offline, and that's nearly all '3 minutes and change' length tracks, not epic mixes or entire classical movements.
Maybe Spotify did away with limits, or they only apply to the cheaper sub's or something?
I have never seen any sign or warning that I'm approaching, or exceeding any limit, and all of the tracks that I've saved offline play OK (with the exception of occasional halts in playback, but even these just require me to hit 'play' ro resume, I think it's a glitch or error rather than a limit).
Have you ever approached/exceeded the limit yourself?
If so what happens?

I ran into that with my Cayin. Looks like they increased it to 10k "recently" (two years ago): https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/13/spotify-offline-download-limit-10000/

Phew, thought I had stepped into the twilight zone there for a while!
10,000 should take me another few years to reach. With luck they'll have increased it again by then.
I wonder why they have any limit on track #'s?
It looks like Best Buy US is finally selling it.
Yeah, I have like a couple K music offline in my 128gb IPhone 6, I just downloaded new albums I find interesting to listen to
