I at one point had collected a huge Music collection. It was at 131GB at one point, and I kept it on a network drive to play for years. I then moved and lost the network drive, then moved again and found it, still with all of my music on it.

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.

Bandcamp is amazing for exploration. It's probably my favorite streaming service and I like to buy albums from the bands I like. Apple Music has been fantastic for me and keeps getting better.

I'm kind of into cutting ties with anything requiring internet and trying out the new hotness in advanced sound quality. Like, did you know there's a thing called DSD that is insane high quality and you can buy it? Like, actually buy it:https://www.hdtracks.com/dsd-albums
