Today, Sony is accretion its high-resolution audio advance with a basic Walkman. The slight little music amateur weighs just 2.3 ounces, authoritative Neil Young's chunky Pono amateur look like a brick. High-resolution audio ability be a little suspect, but there's no agnosticism this baby music amateur is a beauty.
Yes, the new NWZ-A17 Walkman (cool name, Sony) supports all of the adorned lossless codecs you'd apprehend anatomy a player, but if it's account your money it'll be because it's got college superior apparatus than your boilerplate phone, like a distinctively advised amplifier.
The hi-res Walkman has 64GB of congenital anamnesis abundant acknowledgment to a microSD slot. And there's congenital Bluetooth so that you can lose all of the audio allegiance you're paying for with the $300 amount tag.
Sony has actively scaled aback its Walkman ambitions from the Android-based ancestor is was assuming off at barter shows endure year. The accepted accessory has actual simple UI and an a a decidedly low-resolution 320×240 2.2-inch LCD screen. It's not even touch.
Still, if the atomic acceptance of the Kickstarter for Neil Young's Pono music player is any indication, there's a lot of humans out there who are absorbed in affairs a standalone music player. Admittedly, the beautiful little Walkman A17 tickles a little bit of apparatus animalism in me even if accustomed a single-use accessory feels asinine to me.
What's more, I'm agnostic of the high-resolution audio push because it promotes crazily high-rate audio that's artlessly scientifically useless. We should absolutely try to accompany aback CD-quality, but traveling aloft that superior is statistically foolish. But if a new amateur can get humans aflame about ditching low-quality alive files and abhorrent MP3s, accompany it on.
