Paul Thompson

Very well constructed with good sound quality

Reviewed in Australia on 3 November 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

PROS:
Beautifully constructed. A solid and visually pleasing device.
Plays music and podcasts very well.
Good battery life

CONS:
Does not connect to wi-fi.
Doesn't play videos. Won't display your photos. Does not play Audible books.
I was able to convert my Audible aax files to mp3 files but it the sound quality suffers with converted files.
Battery life a bit disappointing and not as advertised

Overall I quite like this device because it is constructed so well. I love the size and weight. Fits nicely into my hand and I like the weight of the player. It doesn't have that flimsy feeling of some of the cheaper brands.

I am quite puzzled as to why Sony made such a beautiful screen that can't display photos or video. I have a cheap MP3 player that has no problems with Audible (aax) files and can display photos and even display videos. Why did Sony build such a beautiful, reliable device and then hobble it with a limited operating system ?

I'm still giving it 4 stars because it has a very good sound quality and looks and feels good. But an upgrade to the operating system to include more file formats would make it an easy 5 stars.

ich bin stumm vor Glück ... grundlegende Funktionen fehlen ....

Reviewed in Germany on 25 January 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Der Player sollte meine gesamte Musikbibliothek speichern. Es sind ca 7.000 Musikstücke.
Das ging auch klaglos - bis ich Musikstücke SUCHEN wollte.
Schlichtweg - es gibt keine Suchfunktion !
Sony erwartet, das man die 7.000 Titel durchscrollt, bis man zum entsprechenden Titel gelangt.
Es gibt auch keine Registerfunktion (A-Z) wo man dann wenigstens schon zu dem entsprechenden Anfangsbuchstaben springen kann.
Weiterhin kann man zwar Playlisten anlegen und auch importieren, aber der Player kopiert den vollen MP3 file in die Playliste. Wenn man also ein Lieblingslied in 8 Playlisten hat, dann wird das Lied 8x in den Player kopiert !
So kann man auch Speicherplatz sinnlos vergeuden.
Das ist erstes Lehrjahr im programmieren, einen Index aufbauen und dann die Playlists nur auf den Song verweisen lassen.
Fazit: Ich sitze eigentlich immer noch fassungslos vor dem Gerät ... absoluter Fehlkauf.

NW-A55

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I really wanted to like this.

After the disappointing revelation the NW-A105 (with Android) doesn't support 24bit streaming through 3rd party apps, I figured a 'downgrade' to the A55 would still be a solid tactical move, thanks to the inclusion of the LDAC Bluetooth Receiver. This 'new' feature, previously included on the ZX300, basically let's you stream 24bit audio from your phone to the A55 in up to 990kbps.

But that's about all it does.

Compare the A55 to the Fiio M9 and the differences are night and day.

A55
* Proprietary USB connection
* No WiFi
* Very low output
* Proprietary DAC serving both channels

Fiio M9
* USB-C connection
* WiFi AND LDAC Bluetooth receiver
* High output on the 3.5mm jack PLUS a 2.5mm balanced connection.
* Dual AK4490EN DAC - one for each channel

I picked up the M9 for an extra fiver compared to the A55 - and returned the A55 in just a day of testing...Disappointing effort from Sony

From the people who know all there is about listening to music.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have DAPs costing £400, £500 and & £700 and if you want to dissect your music these are fine, but if you want to be moved and enjoy your music just buy the Sony and a quality pair of headphones. You do not need to spend Big Money. It has taken me a while to reach this conclusion.

Mr. S. RAFFERTY

Great for travelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I really needed something to listen to when travelling (I travel a lot, I was killing my iphone battery and it was dead when I landed). I looked and demo'd some of the Chinese DAPs on the Market and as nice and as well built as many of them are, they nearly all fail on my criteria battery life >20 hours, I wanted something that I did not have to recharge, half-way through my journey. The only DAPs, in my budget <£200 (that met my criteria) were the Sony NW-A45 and NW-A55. I decided to buy the newer A55, as it ticked all of my boxes (pretty much).
I have to say my purchase did not disappoint. The size is great (it is small), battery life is excellent, 40+ hours on a single charge and Sound Quality is great (I listen to FLAC from 16/44.1 to 24/192). I normally use Tin HiFi T2s for wired or Sony WH-1000 XM3s. And hereby is one of my 2 minor criticisms of the WM-A55:
1. Sony do not have XM3s (their best selling noise cancelling headphones) as a headphone profile, so you cannot change the EQ, which you can with the app on a phone.
And
2. Sony's insistence on still clinging to their horrible WM-Port, they should have migrated to USB-C like they have on their NW-A105.

If they had changed these 2 things then this would have been a perfect DAP. as it is I would score it 95/100.

If you are looking to break away from music on your phone and want something that offers good battery life, great SQ, great BT connection and very nice interface, look no further than the NW-A55.

Great replacement for my old iPod Classic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to replace an ageing iPod Classic that was long past its best. I'm happy that I did. I paired this up with a Sandisk 200Gb MicroSD card and it provides plenty of room for all of my music. I mostly have mp3 files, but looking forward to trying FLAC or whatever files later on. The user interface is easy enough to use, and it won't take you long to familiarise yourself with it if you're coming from Apple's products. As it is a touchscreen interface, it's very intuitive and as I said, you'll pick up how to use it very quickly.

The sound quality is excellent, and I particularly like that you don't have to use any "walled garden" software (iTunes, I'm looking at you!) and I can transfer music across to it using the file and folder system in Windows 10. The battery life is decent and seems to last a good long while in-between charges (for me it's easily 10+ listening hours before it needs charging again?)

I'm happy with it, and pretty confident that you will be too!
