Nearly $700 for top end version and no AX support. 😱

Walkman?
That name rings a bell. 😎
Had a few Walkmans, were the hottest thing back then. Loved them all.
But then smart phones happened... 😕

I here the founder? Of creative audio/labs has died?
When it comes to portable audio I will stick with my S9.

There are places where a smartphone, or any device with a camera or a radio, isn't welcome to. Hard to say if that's enough of a market for anything, though.

there is a market for this kinf of product... a tiny tiny market.. is Sony doing good? because i have seen so many flops from them and i have ages not hearing about any win, appart from the PS5

Nice device... 230mw*2 (more than enough for 300 ohm headphones, probably also for 600 ohm), DSD 11.2 decoding...20 hours of play time.. And the price is exactly ok for this kind of equiment - almost audiophile grade.

If record players and yuppies are any indicators, they will have a novel amount of sales before it becomes yet another artifact of technological history...

Why only 64GB max storage capacity? This kind of device does not need any superduper speed storage, and storage is cheap. Even some of the old Ipods had more storage then 64Gigs.

Feels anachronistic.
For such a nieche product, I'm not surprised they have to charge the price of a full grown phone for less than half of what a phone does.

Tbh, even with all the downsides I would be tempted with enough disposable income. Top tier listening on the go is always desirable, however I would much prefer carrying 1 device rather than 2.
I'm not surprised at this product. Sony have great ideas, then shoot themselves in the foot. I remember having their high def audio players back in the day which only used their awful software and proprietary audio formats. Ugh. Same with their laptops, day 1 drivers and never updated again (especially when they brought out the manual gpu switch z-series).
