Ipod Nano 4th Gen ->LOD->Fiio E11 ?
Or can i amp the Clip Zip as well ?
Im looking in terms of sound quality and power to drive the phones.

Comparing with an ipod nano 3rd... I'd say sound quality is better. I paired it directly with a fiio e11 and it satisfies me so far. The eq kinda sucks to me..but i usually dont use eq so its fine. Touch buttons not very responsive but it still works. Build is really nice.. Has some weight to it, feels really solid.

Need help to choose: Sony NW-A36 VS NW-A45
Promo for NW-A36, 32gb, Headphone, rm699
A45 retail rm899, 16gb, no headphones.

A45 advantage:
Can use as usb dac.
Better bluetooth support, aptx (HD with firmware update)
Not sure about SQ, i tested at shop it does sound better to me vs A36, not very big difference though.
MQA support.

A36 advantage:
Price.. 200 cheaper get 32gb+Headphone set, better value.

A36 disadvantage:
Supposedly slower interface/boot. (Latest firmware 1.20 said to improve this, but i cant find reviews)

A45 disadvantage:
No reviews.

Which should i go for ?

If I already have a dedicated desktop setup, I might go with A36 but if not, I will go with A45. I will go with A45 because I already have a numbers of IEM/Headphones; but, if you don't have one, A36 might be a better deal.

Ok..thanks man. I think i might go with A45 then

hi, just go for NW-A45. Foto Shangri-La has now offering NW-A45 for RM799 in 11street only. Get it now before the offer end.

I'm personally not recommend to get the older generation NW-A36. Actually NW-A36 is same with NW-A35. It's just about NW-35 without earphones and NW-A36 with earphones.
NW-A45 only has 16GB but you can further add up a microSD card to extend your player storage. NW-A45 has slightly better in sound quality, you can always refers to Sony Official Website.

NW-A45 is replaced to a lead-free solder to maximize it's clarity. New circuit board has improved in clearer sound and pure, solid bass. This was mentioned in Sony official website.

Just go get a better earphones/headphones.

Thanks for the reply! I have already gotten my A45 after consideration. More new tech..amd usable as dac.esp the bluetooth aptx HD if i dont want sony bluetooth phones.

I did listen and compare both.. and there is a difference in sound quality esp in clarity. Didnt think that solder would matter... but the difference is there.. haha!
