Review: I was using Ipod - First thing first. The quality of sound reproduction is exactly what one expects from Sony- crystal clear & pure with a nice DAC and EQ and a lot many other sound improving capabilities . This player was a nightmare initially to understand it's functions, especially the necessity of providing a full-fledged bunch of mobile Android apps. The biggest drawback is the inbuilt memory, which at 32 gb barely adequate for Android apps . It could have been made atleast 128/64 gb. However, slot for external SD card upto 1 TB is a big saving grace. A slightly bigger battery for longer playback would have also added an extra attraction at this price point. However, the quality of reproduction of music more than compensate these shortcomings. Earlier I rated it 4*, which I must revise to 5 after a few months of use - reason being it's musicality from my own FLAC / MP3 Stored music as well as high fidelity desertcart prime music. I have not listened to lossless music from Tidal or any other such platforms. Although, a bit expensive by Indian standard, for serious music lovers in India, I would recommend that instead of spending good money on high powered amplifier, CD player, record player, passive speakers etc. (which incidentally I have already done), better by a set of nice quality Active speakers and this Sony walkman player and your ears will feel blessed, because even most of expensive mobiles do not have DACs Good enough to bring the real thing out of streamed music.
