Hahah. That's pretty awesome. If you're not gonna give us a good battery, we'll make one ourselves lol.

Looks like sony abandoned this form factor tho. Are SFF DAPs dead in favor of small dacs and phones ?

Assuming the new android Walkmans have some sort of update to the "Walkman Player" app, is there a way to update the app on this model?

I feel like if it is possible, it probably requires modding since Sony just abandons their latest Walkmans after a week lol. I mostly listen to my personal library so I just wonder if Sony did anything to their proprietary player yet.

Anyone thinking about upgrading to the A306 or A307 from the 105 ?

What feature are you missing that you think you'll get ? I dunno if the app on the 306 runs on Android 9. If it does, I'm sure there's a way to put it on there.

Nope. There's nothing to justify it, except a few hrs battery life. Besides the way in which android DAPs go unsupported so quickly makes them a complete waste of money.

Yeah, well more battery life would really be welcome, it's abyssmal on the A105 and those batteries aren't gonna last forever either.

I was hoping for wireless charging, but everything else seems the same. Oh except now DSEE gets the "AI" buzzword.

Did anything happen to the a105 sound? I've had mine for more than a year and though i don't use it much, I recently noticed that it's quite bass light.

That doesn't seem very likely. It is likely you are just remembering it as being more bass centric than it is. Audio memory is very, very short, and extremely unreliable and that is a fact, not theory or opinion.

thats true

Ever since I bought my A105, I've paired it with Fiio A5 (amp) and now with Mojo (amp/dac). Quite happy to be using it as a transport player.

Now that the device is quite a bit old is there a way we can unlock bootloader and install custom rom kind of stuff on this ti increase battery life get rid of Gapps and so on ?

Hey the walkman player app is absolute garbage, you cant scroll through files properly and you cant create playlists (What are bookmarks supposed to be), however you cant use 3rd party player apps and still take advantage of the audio hardware properly....

is there a workaround for this bs? because im starting to regret spending 155€ on a piece of trash... :X

Great blog on the creation of the original tape Walkman.

Hello...anyone knows if i could use the Sony A100TPS as source to the Hugo2 using optical? thanks

 

[jz520]

Also can I just say how cool it was for them to design the 40th Anniversary logo just like the original back in 1979? Nice throwback they did there!

hi is there an optical out on this model? thanka
