And the evolving algorithm now delivers even greater benefits for CD-quality (16 bit 44.1/48kHz) lossless codec audio. Restoring acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, it provides a richer, more complete listening experience.
Vinyl Processor

Stunning New Design
An eye-catching rippled wave design covers the rear of the unit, which looks stylish and provides better grip.
Cassette Tape UI
As a playful nod to the portable music revolution, Sony began with the iconic TPS-L2, the NW-A300 series features a special cassette tape user interface and screensaver. The cassette tape visual that appears on your Walkman® display varies depending on the codec of the music you’re listening to.
