It could even be a silver 1A in an aluminum body with 1Z capacitors and Kimber wire. Same firmware and feel as the 1A. So it would sound somewhat between the 1A and 1Z. Cost $1200. But...............the Japanese would probably never do something so easy. It’s going to be different...........the question is how much.....different?

I am hoping some of the DMP-Z1 tech makes it's way into whatever this is.
That's probably not gonna happen though, not until the 1A and 1Z successors come to market. "Fingers Crossed"
This is a pure nostalgia thing for me. When I was a kid, I was low key obsessed with my Walkman. Looking back, it was the first audiophile gear I ever owned. But at the same time, I'd love to see Sony figure out what a modern Walkman is in the age of smartphones, HD FLAC, streaming, chi-fi, etc. I mean, they can be content to be more of a niche player, but they can compete with the likes of FiiO, so why not?
IMO the FiiO M11 is currently king when it coems to bang for your buck, offering sonic performance similar to DAPs in the thousand dollar range for less than half the price. Sony's new DAP will most likely be more expensive than $450, but if it can deliver BFYB performance like the M11 that'd be amazing
Can't believe they actually kept this quiet so close to the reveal date! Are you guys thinking a new flagship device here or more of a ZX300 successor?

Now I WOULD buy a silver A1! After having the black MZ-RH1 with which the black paint comes off on the corners, Silver looks classy IMHO. That's why I love my ZX1. I think historical the anniversary editions tend to be silver or a champagne? I.e. MZ-NH1 (30th); NW-ZX1 (35th)

i will guess a sucessor for zx300 and flagship 1a/z within the next few months, maybe an xperia walkman as well, snapdragon 855 with 6gb and os-con capacators and balanced 4.4mm and unbalanced.
