Sony's entry-level Walkman model, the NW-A306 DAP is designed for music lovers who want to enjoy high-quality audio on the go without breaking the bank. With sleek black styling, a 3.6-inch touchscreen, and a weight of only four ounces, it's the smallest Walkman model, making it effortlessly portable. While it may be small enough to fit in your back pocket, the Sony NW-A306 DAP's performance is anything but little. With support for a wide range of audio formats, including high-resolution, you can enjoy all your favorite music no matter the format. The Sony Walkman's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity options provide flexibility for wireless listening and effortless music downloads, and the 32GB of internal storage and micro SD card expansion guarantee your music has no limits. Pair the Sony NW-A306 DAP with the Sony WF-1000XM5 Wireless Earbuds, or opt for an over-ear fit with the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones for the ultimate portable audiophile setup—free of cables and fuss.
Dragon Cable Recommendation: We recommend pairing the Sony NW-A306 Walkman DAP with the Black Dragon USB Cable (USB-C connector). The Black Dragon USB Cable is designed for digital bus transmission when getting the most out of your audio is crucial. Made with UP-OCC copper conductors and high-quality materials, the Black Dragon USB Cable features reinforced connectors designed to maintain a secure, stable connection at all times. The Black Dragon USB Cable will bring more detail and resolution to your hi-res audio playback.
These days when portable devices need a separate bag to tote them around in, Sony's size for the NW-A306 is a welcome one. At a little under 4 inches tall and weighing the same as a deck of playing cards, the NW-A306 is built with functionality in mind. An eye-catching rippled wave design covers the rear of the unit for a better grip and a stylish look. As a playful nod to the TPS-L2 Walkman that sparked the portable music revolution, the NW-A306 DAP features a special cassette tape user interface and screensaver. The cassette tape visual that appears on your NW-A306 Walkman® display varies depending on the codec of the music you’re listening to.
The NW-A306 DAP features a 3.6-inch touchscreen with auto-rotate functionality for a better viewing experience. It's got a compact and lightweight aluminum frame with gold solder inside for a sleek, minimalist design. Controlling the NW-A306 DAP is easy with seven functionality buttons on the right side: A power on/off button, volume controls, pause and play with track skipping, and a HOLD switch. When activated the HOLD switch disables the buttons so there's no worry of accidentally skipping a song when toting around the DAP in one hand or a pocket. On the bottom you'll find the mini 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C type charging port, and MicroSD slot. With a 32GB integrated memory and an additional MicroSD card slot, the NW-A306 Walkman DAP lets you take even the biggest music collections on the go.
With a long battery life, you can immerse yourself in more of your music, with up to 36 hours of 44.1KHz FLAC playback, up to 32 hours of 96 KHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, or even up to 26 hours with a music service app.
Although Tiny, the NW-A306 digital audio player is packed with technology audiophiles will appreciate. The S-Master HX™ digital amp technology, independently developed for the Walkman®, is compatible with the Native DSD format, and supports balanced and high power output.

Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time.

Restoring acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, it provides a richer, more complete listening experience.
