You’re reading this review about a Sony Walkman in 2019. Let’s clarify two things. It’s not a commemorative 40-year-old edition of the TPS-2 Sony Strdh590 Black Friday Deals 2022 audio cassette player. And you’re not stuck in an episode Quantum. In recent years, there’s been a revival of portable music players capable of handling lossless FLAC, ALAC and uncompressed WAV high-res audio files. One such player is the Sony NW-A45. It’s about the size of a credit card and won’t take up much space in your pocket. Although the 16GB storage capacity is disappointing, you can add upto 512GB to this small box via the microSD slot. Sony claims it can support up to 2TB. If you have the money, you will have plenty of space.
It feels great in our hands – it’s sturdy, comfortable and has a good volume/track selection button. The Sony NW-A45 claims it is waterproof, though the exact level of water resistance is not known. However, the unit comes with a WM charging port. Pairing is easy once you find the right menu. The Bluetooth connection is stable and reliable.
Five hi-res audio album files are loaded onto the NW-A45. There are 42 tracks total, all FLAC files. The device has almost three-quarters left of its storage. We have 4.61GB of storage left and we are certain we will be buying a microSD card soon.We also added some MQA music files to Jorunn Torsheim’s Amore e Morte and a DSD album to The Zombies’ Greatest Hits. It’s amazing that we can transfer DSD files to the iPod Touch in a matter seconds. Although it requires extra effort and additional expense, we are already down to our last few gigs.

Adroitly managed, the sombre percussion and walking bass, as well as the sensitive drum beats and synth chords, which are used to launch Bowie’s direct, heart-wrenching voice, are all handled with skill. The bass is deep and well-balanced, with good musical cohesion. There’s also plenty of space between the instruments. Bowie’s voice sounds rich and emotional. His inhalations are also audible.The same track is played on Apple’s 32GB iPhone (PS199) and there is a noticeable drop in detail and expansiveness, especially where vocals are concerned. The treble of the Sony is also more musically sensitive than that of the iPod Touch, which has a slightly more edgier and more pointed treble. This is a minor drawback in comparison. Sony’s NWA45 is more authentic and more balanced than the iPod Touch.
The NW-A45 sounds more natural and precise through the treble, midrange and bass, but the iPod is just a little better for its dynamic punch, momentum, timing and energy, as Zimmer’s synth-layered drum beats. The Sony delivers hi-fi sound in its best form, while the Apple product is slightly more enjoyable at times.
It all comes down to your expectations of a player. The iPod Touch is a personal music player that supports streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal and Deezer. This Walkman is the right choice if you are looking for something more complicated but that allows you to listen to high-resolution PCM and DSD files while you’re driving with optional noise cancelling.

The Sony’s advantage over the iPod Touch is that it doubles as a DAC. This allows you to enhance the sound quality of your computer. Just plug the Walkman in to your computer’s USB port, and then select the DAC function on the device’s homescreen. The Sony’s DAC processes the signal, levelling up your computer’s digital-analogue converter.We can’t get this function working on a MacBook Pro despite our best efforts. However, it does improve the sound quality from a Dell computer.Verdict Sony designed and priced the NWA45 to be a companion for your smartphone, not an alternative. It is able to handle your high-resolution music needs. It does all this well, with more playback time than the iPod Touch and a build quality that is exceptional. It also feels much more expensive than it really is.
The iPod Touch has many other features, including apps, cameras and FaceTime. It also offers messaging services, voice assistants, and messaging services. Despite its offline status and awkward user interface, the iPod Touch is still a great value in this long line of Sony Walkmans.
This week we have something different. It’s a tech review of the Sony Walkman A40 series, specifically the Walkman A45. The A series Walkman series, which is the evolution of the cassette tape player of the 1980’s for those who were late, is directly competitive to the Apple iPod and other similar products. This model can be described as a mid-range music device. I purchased the NW-A45, which was the base model with 16Gig of memory built in. It was in metallic blue. I bought the international version of the model, which was called NW-A45 (Ritt Blue), and it had more languages than Japanese.
A quick explanation of the Walkman model codes. The only difference between the NW A45 and NW A45HN Walkmans is the bundled headphones. The NW-A46 has 32Gig standard and the NW-A47 64Gig. The colour code suffix is BM (black), NM (gold), GM (green), GM [for green], LM [for blue] and RM (“for orange”). The model codes are as follows: NW-A46 HNLM is a blue Walkman 32Gig Walkman equipped with in-ear headphones. All models come with expandable memory.
You will immediately notice the quality of the build. Although the NW-A45 to 47 Walkmans are mostly made of metal and glass, they can be held in a compact manner. For demonstration purposes, the player comes with three complete Hi-res music files: Paddy Fahey’s, Don’t Drift too Far and Snowflake which are a mixture of FLAC and DSD files.
It is a music player that I purchased and would recommend to anyone. It can play Hi-Res audio files such as FLAC, DSD, MQA and MQA files, and can upscale the most popular MP3 and ACC files. The NW-45 Walkman can also fill in any music that was lost when it is converted to compressed files. You can also expand the memory of your Walkman with a microSD Card. This will allow you to take all of your music with you, as long as it isn’t protected.
High quality music reproduction does not require you to be an audiophile. The A40 Series Walkman is a great alternative to listening to iPods, iPhones and other Android phones for years. The music is clearer, and all missing sounds can be heard. This is before activating the equaliser or additional up-scaling algorithm.
Without good headphones, even a high-end DAC – digital analog converter in the Walkman will not be very impressive. The Beats headphones on the iPhones and iPods sound great because they have special equaliser settings Sony Strdh590 Black Friday Deals 2022 for Apple devices. Beats headphones don’t sound as good on other music players. They sound great on the Walkman, but not as well as my choice of headphones, the Sennheiser HD4.20s. This is before you adjust the settings.
