Sony Walkman NW-A306 Touchscreen MP3 Player - 32GB, Black

Product Information

Of course you’re interested in one of the best hi-res audio players because you want an audio experience that’s on another level to that served up by your smartphone. But that doesn’t mean you’re not interested in extended functionality, does it? Sony certainly doesn’t think so. The best way to use JSymphonic is to copy it onto the root of the player's hard drive. From there, it can be run in any situation with any PC ( that has JAVA installed, that is ). It has a basic set of functions that can be customised to suit the layout of the sources of audio files on your computer. Just copying files onto the player will not work, because the player uses it's internal database to manage files. JSymphonic writes to and reads that database, enabling the player to know what's what. The NW-A306 Walkman is supported by Android and compatible with Wi-Fi, offering you even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favourite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection. Credit subject to status and affordability.

Somehow, though, Sony has managed to make this little player look and feel like a premium device. The milled aluminium casework is rigid and pleasant to the touch, and the ridged and rounded sides make it eminently grabbable. The 720p 3.6in TFT touchscreen is bright and sharp, if a little more reflective than is ideal, and the physical controls along one side are cleverly shaped – it’s easy to know what’s what without even looking. But it’s through the midrange that the NW-A306 does its most convincing and agreeable work. It’s an eloquent and revealing listen, with any number of interesting observations to make about a singer’s technique and attitude. And with a technician as warm and accomplished as Weyes Blood, the Sony communicates in torrents. No shred of information seems to elude it, and it manages to sound spirited and musical even though it’s getting through an awful lot of analysis. A Bluetooth connection will shorten the battery life by up to 50% depending on the following conditions. The trebles on the EM6L are really well extended. They are very airy and detailed. However, the detailed trebles come with their cons too. As such, the EM6L is a bit sibilant. It also doesn't compare to the Xenns Top, which has very well extended, extremely detailed, and quality trebles but presents them in a controlled and smooth manner. Hence, it is not fatiguing or overwhelming during long sessions. The Top also has better technicality and separations than the EM6L or the Khan by a huge margin (understandably as they belong in different price ratios). So the trebles sound better on the Xenns Top. The EM6L sometimes sounds fatiguing and piercing with treble-heavy songs.web.archive.org/web/20071028075729/www.walkmanvideomp3.com/".

With 32GB integrated memory and an SD card slot, the NW-A300 series Walkman lets you take even the biggest music collections on the go.

The screen is a 3.6in with HD resolution (same as before), using the Android 12 OS, previously Android 9. The biggest improvement is the battery life, now rated up to 36 hours for MP3 (128kbps) and up to 32 hours for FLAC (96Khz/24bit). Compare this to the old model which had up to 23 hours for MP3 (128kbps) and up to 19 hours for FLAC (96Khz/24bit). This is a huge change and a welcome one.

From what I could make out, it seems that this copper foil improves the low range frequencies, but it also strengthens the ground. I do not know if this means to make the board more stiff or it is referring to the ground in terms of power. I suspect it is the former, but I again ask my Japanese readers to help with this translation in the comments below. Colour display. Video-playing capability added. ATRAC Advanced Lossless support.

However, female vocals are really enjoyable on the EM6L. In fact, I would say that female vocals sound even better on this than on the Xenns Top.

The new model has been certified with Bluetooth 5.0, and not 5.2, so unless it is re-certified, there will be no LE Audio support by the looks of it. The certification also confirms the Qualcomm SoC, while not specifically the QCS2290, it is in the list. Anyways, an interesting note is the Design Description, "Bluetooth technology platform for YY130x series". Hmm while I doubt that the ZX uses the same chip since the benchmarks are higher, it begs the question, why does it say YY130x series? Anyways, I hope the ZX will show up on Bluetooth SIG soon, it would help with identifying the SoC used.
