lol nothing on their web leh...

think never update their website lah... should have remove their eol products loh..or at least state that its eol...

plus the A840 series intro page also quite misleading... think we only have black color?

even Hong Kong got white color but in 8GB only...i thought all asia market should get same treatment? and their website is also nicer loh..still have A840 series stock in their website ah! but spore so fast eol liao...

http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/product/walkman/a840/order.jsp

think sony spore losing many potential customers for this few months...esp now tat end of year & new year feative season, many will buy gifts either for others or themselves...

dunno wat local agent thinking?

 

[winszip]

true.
Never know wat they thinking

but I see the specs like not much diff. u can spot any difference from the e-400+ series to the e-500+ series?

 

[wilson9343]

dunno about E series...only thing i notice is the new bundled iem instead of earpuds...

i thought u decided to go for the same A846 as blackstar?? y interested in E series now? with yr budget of $300 can get better player lah...

there is definately going to be some SQ compromise as you go down the series...from wat i hear between the X, A and S, there's abit of difference in SQ...so i assume the same for E too (considering cheaper components/parts used or simply tuned to sound lower-end by sony just to differentiate their products)...

if you are planning to set aside current budget for a nicer iem...can upgrade later lah..

just get the best player you can afford now...

once you have a good player/source...then slowly improve yr setup lah...maybe save up a bit afterwards and get a mid-range iem...then maybe some entry portable headphones tats easy to drive or in some nice desktop speakers like AE AegoM which is easy to setup for both good near-field listening and room filling sound.

used to connect my sony A816 to the AegoM...maintaining the sony player's musical signature + speakers is clean sounding & bassy enough...its very nice!

using X1050 rite now...sold my A846 to a friend after deciding on keeping the X...
although the sound presentation is not as upfront and exciting as the A840 initially..but after some time with it, begin to appreciate its smooth and "surround" sound.

currently also selling a S745 in the marketplace too...which i cant really get used to coming from an old A810 player as the treble is just tat bit less natural sounding to me...although its overall SQ and esp bass is still miles ahead of my old A810 lah...if i never listen to the A series player before..think l'll be perfectly fine as its still a pretty good & musical player.

A840 battery is not as good as my old A810...but good enough if you seldom switch on the "big" screen...which i find it hard as its very nice and i just cant stop staring at the album art ah!

dun think can reach 15 hrs of music? never really keep track lah...
