Sony NW-A306 Walkman VS Sony Xperia 1 V - What's best for HD AUDIO? 

YW Thanks for watching~ I still love both of these devices.

@@TUXXREVIEWS Don't happen to know of a place to get a list of Phones that a support DSF?. I have ripped a couple of my SACDs into files and moved them to the Phone for listening. I prefer the headphone jack as well. I have an LG V60, but with dropped support, I need to replace the phone at some point (I already had to replace the back plate).

I may do a deeper dive into this subject. I do use the same flac ( and other ) music flies on both players. I have one hd music collection (mostly flac) and a 2nd music collection in mp3 320. I should note despite format (mp3, flac or better) not all music flies are equal. One may be ripped better or the source material be a better recorded version. There really is allot of things to consider / take into account. I find using DSEE great on the Xperia 1 V but due to their features often leave off on the NW-A306. Also the NW-A306 has different features available based on the type (wired or wireless) headphones your using.

Same. It's funny but I still learn new things every week. The phone is full of suprizes. It has such an amazing camera sometimes I slip and say "hey can you grab my camera" and I'm talking about the Xperia 1V

depends on resistance in headphones. Also the phone is louder than nw-a306

I totaly get this, Its an amazing bonus feature. I love the way it changes the name on the cassete as well. So cool!

On Sonys website it says yes. Its not a common question so some NW-A306 tech specs doesnt list it but sony says YES

(DSF) YERAYCITO MASTER SERIES V is what wont play - I will further test and follow up. I really think DSF files should play. interesting but not working for me.
