DSD playbackExperience the natural sound and intense detail of DSD audio formats, thanks to the NW-A50 Series' high-quality PCM conversion. |
Audio upscaling with new DSEE HXBring even heavily-compressed audio formats back to a full fidelity experience with our advanced DSEE HX processor, which uses AI to accurately analyse song type, instrumentation and musical genres. |
S-Master HX optimised for High-Resolution AudioEnjoy all the subtleties in your music with S-Master HX which delivers High-Resolution Audio in maximum quality, with reduced distortion and noise. |
Rigid aluminium milled frame for improved sound quality
The premium aluminium milled frame provides superior rigidity for low impedance and clear, stable sound and solid bass.
Truly authentic sound with High-Resolution Audio
Feel as if the artist is performing right in front of you with higher-than-CD quality High-Resolution Audio, which faithfully reproduces even the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound.
Advanced solder containing gold for clearer sound
The exceptional conductivity of gold ensures absolute minimum signal loss. For clearer sound and vocals, a premium, audio-grade lead-free solder with a small amount of gold connects the circuit of the NW-A50 to the battery.
Stylish curved design, evolved buttons
Ergonomic to hold, with a premium, curved aluminium body, the NW-A50 fits in the palm of your hand. Intuitive side key buttons let you control your music with ease. The play/pause, music-selection and volume buttons on the side panel are shaped and positioned for easy operation, even by feel alone.

Music played from your computer sounds even better with USB DAC functionUse your NW-A50 Series as a USB DAC (Digital-Analogue Converter) by pairing it with a PC or Mac computer. When connected and activated using the supplied USB cable, the NW-A50 Series replaces your computer’s regular sound processing with its own, highly-tuned, hardware processing. |
BLUETOOTH Receiver mode to give your smartphone music a boostStream music through the NW-A50 via Bluetooth and a smartphone connection and give all your music an NW-A50 boost. Favourite tracks will benefit from S-Master HX and DSEE HX upscaling, as well as Vinyl Processor and equaliser. |
Gold plated circuit board and contact springs for low impedanceThe onboard plate and contact springs of the NW-A50 that connect the circuit board to the aluminium milled frame are both plated with gold. The results are powerful bass and a clear mid-range. |
Better BLUETOOTH streamingLDAC uses a conventional BLUETOOTH connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate of up to 990kbps – approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention. Full aptX HD audio compatibility is available with a firmware update. |

I really wanted to like this.
After the disappointing revelation the NW-A105 (with Android) doesn't support 24bit streaming through 3rd party apps, I figured a 'downgrade' to the A55 would still be a solid tactical move, thanks to the inclusion of the LDAC Bluetooth Receiver. This 'new' feature, previously included on the ZX300, basically let's you stream 24bit audio from your phone to the A55 in up to 990kbps.
But that's about all it does.
Compare the A55 to the Fiio M9 and the differences are night and day.
A55
* Proprietary USB connection
* No WiFi
* Very low output
* Proprietary DAC serving both channels
Fiio M9
* USB-C connection
* WiFi AND LDAC Bluetooth receiver
* High output on the 3.5mm jack PLUS a 2.5mm balanced connection.
* Dual AK4490EN DAC - one for each channel
I picked up the M9 for an extra fiver compared to the A55 - and returned the A55 in just a day of testing...Disappointing effort from Sony

Out of the box this is a good device, however the volume is heavily capped by default and with no way around it from within the device. This would not be a bad thing, but somehow I felt the audio quality was not quite as expected. I had heard of a mod that could be done to the A45 that removes restrictions imposed on the device, and with fingers crossed decided to try it on my A55.
Well it was a success and actually easier than I thought when I followed the instructions carefully. Now my A55 is unlocked and uncrippled! Not only does the device now go to a volume that I prefer not to reach due to how loud it is, but the quality of sound at even low volumes is amazing! The difference is night and day!
Before the mod, it was low volume, and somehow lacked the detail I expected. Now the detail is all there! All frequencies from low bass, to mid and those detailed high ranges are perfectly represented! Even taking low quality mp3 files and enabling an option that re-invigerates those heavily compressed files works wonders in recreating lost details. I listen to my music and hear details that were lost when playing for all these years on my mobile phone. I have fallen in love with this player. Battery life is good, the menu`s are pretty clear, not perfect but certainly usable. The device itself feels premium, it has an assuring weight on it, a lovely metallic casing, simple and intuitive controls mounted on the side for volume, play/pause, track skip and a very handy hold switch to prevent touch screen or side button inputs while in the pocket.
Be aware, the mod is software (no hardware modifications required), however I suspect it may void your warranty. For me it was well worth doing, you do it at your own discretion!

I have to say my purchase did not disappoint. The size is great (it is small), battery life is excellent, 40+ hours on a single charge and Sound Quality is great (I listen to FLAC from 16/44.1 to 24/192). I normally use Tin HiFi T2s for wired or Sony WH-1000 XM3s. And hereby is one of my 2 minor criticisms of the WM-A55:
1. Sony do not have XM3s (their best selling noise cancelling headphones) as a headphone profile, so you cannot change the EQ, which you can with the app on a phone.
And
2. Sony's insistence on still clinging to their horrible WM-Port, they should have migrated to USB-C like they have on their NW-A105.
If they had changed these 2 things then this would have been a perfect DAP. as it is I would score it 95/100.
If you are looking to break away from music on your phone and want something that offers good battery life, great SQ, great BT connection and very nice interface, look no further than the NW-A55.

I really needed something to listen to when travelling (I travel a lot, I was killing my iphone battery and it was dead when I landed). I looked and demo'd some of the Chinese DAPs on the Market and as nice and as well built as many of them are, they nearly all fail on my criteria battery life >20 hours, I wanted something that I did not have to recharge, half-way through my journey. The only DAPs, in my budget <£200 (that met my criteria) were the Sony NW-A45 and NW-A55. I decided to buy the newer A55, as it ticked all of my boxes (pretty much).

I bought this to replace an ageing iPod Classic that was long past its best. I'm happy that I did. I paired this up with a Sandisk 200Gb MicroSD card and it provides plenty of room for all of my music. I mostly have mp3 files, but looking forward to trying FLAC or whatever files later on. The user interface is easy enough to use, and it won't take you long to familiarise yourself with it if you're coming from Apple's products. As it is a touchscreen interface, it's very intuitive and as I said, you'll pick up how to use it very quickly.
The sound quality is excellent, and I particularly like that you don't have to use any "walled garden" software (iTunes, I'm looking at you!) and I can transfer music across to it using the file and folder system in Windows 10. The battery life is decent and seems to last a good long while in-between charges (for me it's easily 10+ listening hours before it needs charging again?)
I'm happy with it, and pretty confident that you will be too!
