Hi.

Please can anyone tell me what the difference is between the NW-A45 and the NW-A55.

My current walkman NWZ-S638F is in need of replacement. Does anyone have any experience of this and either the A45 or A55 and can advise whether they are the same or better in audio quality.

Thanks, Dave

both are basically the same plus a few tweaks (hardware) here and there for the A55

Only A55 exclusive features are the Bluettooth receiver mode, DSEE HD AI and Vinyl processor

Many thanks, looks like the A55 is the best option

I have another query -- Sony specs

show the A45 as Headphone out (stereo mini jack) Maximum power output 1.6 – 4.2mW

and the A55 as Headphone out (stereo mini jack) Maximum power output 35mW + 35mW

Please can anyone explain in very simple terms what this means and what is best.

Many thanks, Dave
