During the time I used qobuz, the battery % dropped pretty quickly.
Was it online listening? I think Wifi's inventors secretly resented batteries.

I use it with FLACs and streaming, I leave it on most of the time I'm shuffling tracks. It may be a gimmick, but it makes some noisy tracks more enjoyable to listen to. I'll say this though, the vinyl processor is 100% gimmicky and I really couldn't tell you if it works or not lol.What’s the general consensus on ClearAudio+? Do you use it?
Same here. I think that pretty much does exactly that.I am not a fan of ClearAudio+, seems like it just boosts treble to artificially add clarity.

Say... Does anyone ever figured out how android works properly with a DAC? A few posts earlier someone said how much energy a DAC consumes / how fast the current charge of the walkman dies.
After a million threads around the web and a ton of unanswered questions, I'm also at a loss. It seems that not the NW-A105 is the bad boy, but android in general, since it tries to always charge the usb device connected to it.
I tried it with some different Y cables and even bought an adapter today, but there seems to be no way to either stop android from charging another device or at least let it charge and exchange data at the same time. I'm using an OPPO HA2, but the walkman dies in like 30 minutes and the DAC always shows it's charging...
With the DAC the volume problem is at least gone, but a new one emerged :/
Don't like it, so I don't use it.What’s the general consensus on ClearAudio+? Do you use it?
Techmoan went to admit that the A100 has grown on him, enough that he got curious and went back and tried the A55.
This is his comparison of how he prefer the A100 more in sound (clearly).
His viewpoint is more of the layman side of things, and he mostly used WH/WF 1000XM3s for the test, Tho, he also have an old trusty Fidelio X2 that he used for the blind test.
Can we just say, as skeptics on modern audio snakeoils, he got surprised by the result.
To note his only other DAP before the Sonys is iRiver Activo CT10, same parent company as A&K for entry level player. He bought both it and the A100 for the novelty anniversary models it came in. One for a Sega Saturn the other for the TPS-L2 case.
Antdroid on the previous page posted "Started at 100%, continuous flac playback except 15 mins of qobuz streaming for 7 hours and its at 44% with 1 hour screen on time " so looks like it may be more like 10-12 on rough estimates depending on how much of a hit the qobuz streaming hit and how much screen time you use.So...I'm kinda in the market for a new DAP and I loved the NW A45, but concerns over battery life have me worried a bit. Here's my situation: I have to pairs of IEM that I use. The Campfire Audio Polaris V2 and the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless. I only listen to downloaded flac files and don't use streaming services. Only time I need WiFi is to occasionally download new tracks from Bandcamp. https://m.soundcloud.com/staatsschauspiel-dresden/sets/dresdner-reden-2020I'm fine with turning off WiFi if I can get ca. 15 hours of listening via Bluetooth out of it.
Considering all of this, do you think this player is the right one for me?
Also will the EU version suffice for these IEM?
