hey guys, would like to ask, any difference between the nwa-a15 (the Rm499 very tempting ) and ipod touch in terms of sound quality/output? I know the sony has the Hi-Res audio thing but never use it before so any feedback on that? or anybody coming from ipod touch to the nwz-a15? thinking to ditch my ipod touch for the nwz as i find using itunes to transfer the music a bit troublesome lately

depend on what file you put in...
it's drag and drog...
and it's built in 16GB and you can expand it with micro-SD (up to 128GB)

The Hi-Res Audio is the DSEE feature, which makes the audio sounds a bit tighter. It does sound a bit better, but the feature is quite battery-draining so I only use it occasionally if I'm charging the device.

Transferring is by drag and drop, so pretty easy. Also as moniqee mentioned, it comes with an SD card.

As for comparing between ipod and it, I have never used ipod before but if i'm not mistaken they just use a generic DAC right. For what it's worth, there is a slight difference that I can tell in audio quality using the same earphones, comparing between my Xperia Z3 and F-806.

where u get the silicon case for A10 series?

And for those who missed this bit of news, there's a new ZX100 in town

http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/walkman/nw-zx100-series

Saw the ZX-100, not really interested.

I'm only interested if a new mid-range walkman that supports Android and wifi (I use streaming music service), and also some new mid-range IEMs.

maybe ZX100 target for those who purely prefer sound quality and doesn't care too much of OS. still, my hand is itchy of it

finally, earphone is included, KEK

Haha, cos this one not high-end enough.

Only the high end Z1 and Z2 not earphones.

A15/17 also no earphones

Haha, really? Oh I didn't know that. Maybe that one too low-range?

So only mid-range gets earphones.

since sony's 1st hi-res audio player ZX1, A15 & A17, and even ZX2 doesn't bundled with any earphones, even though A15 & a17 classified as midrange music player. as far i heard, the coming new A26 will bundled with noise cancelling earphone

the ZX100 is like a blend of ZX1/2 with A10 series. But for the price RM2100+? I rather wait for FiiO X7..

ebay...

zx100 another droid player that i would say no

it's not using android, it's using Sony's walkman UI

I tried to order the A15 but Sony called me up and said no more stock

And I am glad that they tell me no more stock as they are launching A20 series!! Much better options and features! Can't wait for that new player to come out!

So A10 series officially phase out

A20 series are made in Malaysia

I thought most walkman made in malaysia? My F886 also made in malaysia, and I think the ZX1 and ZX2 as well.

OK time to buy A15/17

KEK
