Though smartphones can be used to listen to music, they can't compete with high-end music players. Toward the top of that list is Sony's NW-ZX707 Walkman.

    …None of this is new? Portable, standalone DACs have existed for years. Even DSD isn’t new. What Sony’s charging isn’t even out of line. Fiio charges (IIRC) $1200 for their Android-based player/DAC.

      Wait until people hear about Astell&Kern’s ~$4000 ear buds.

      Not for the faint of heart.

        $4k and they’re not even custom fit‽‽

        I’m sorry if I’m paying FOUR THOUSAND REAL DOLLARS they’d better not come with the fucking tips I get with $20 buds.
