I pulled all the music off and it's decades of random interests. African Music to Jazz to BeBop to Death Metal to P-Funk to Classical all over the place, in as high a quality as I could possibly find. When I lost this treasure trove of weird I just shrugged and got Amazon.

Lately the sound quality of most streaming has been going down, Amazon "loses" the few songs I did upload to their service. It's mostly full of pop and trash, with a few nice things here and there but nothing too indie. I kind of wanted to just get off it and go back to mine.

So when I bought my Sony MH-1000xm3 headphones, I noticed that it will play LDAC wirelessly when paired up with the Sony Walkman. I go and research the Walkman and at first I was like, "HAHAHAHA you can GFYS you think I'm spending $2k on an iPod."

Then I saw they also offer the NW-A55 and that still supports all the LDAC and crazy sound quality features, at a much nice smaller package with 45+ hours of battery life, plus *SD CARD SUPPORT* That means I can load my entire massive collection on it, and add even more.

I ordered one, and it finally came in the mail today, so I've been trying it out. Here's my review so far: 1. Very tiny and light. 2. Yet another fucking cable? Really? 3. LDAC sound quality is insane. WTF? 4. Pairing with NFC right off the headphones is great.

I am now currently loading all of my music onto an SD Card and we will see how that works. More soon.

I have selected Peggy Lee Swing as the first DSD album I'm buying: https://www.hdtracks.com/dsd-albums/peggy-lee … It's in 192kHz/24 bit sampling which I'm sure is far beyond what's necessary but that is the point.

Interesting, http://hdtracks.com seems to be rocking a mix of Flash and maybe C# silverlight? Surprised this shit still work at all. Well the flash doesn't but the downloader does. This Peggy Lee album is in FLAC with a PDF for liner notes, also interesting.

Alright, finally got all 131GB of music onto an SD card and did it right. You *really* have to format the card on the Walkman or it won't work, but the new A55 seems to handle a 400GB SD card no problem. Sound quality is absolutely insane, even over BT with LDAC.
