High-resolution audio

Connect a headset to your device using the regular headset socket.

Use the micro USB port with a supported cable to output the sound to a high-resolution digital-to-analogue converter/amplifier (DAC/amp) and then connect your headphones or speakers to it. For example, you can use the Sony PHA-2 Portable Hi-Res DAC/ Headphone Amplifier or the Sony TA-A1ES High-Resolution Audio Stereo Amplifier to get a much higher quality sound.

Use the micro USB port with a supported cable to output the sound to a digital-to- analogue converter/amplifier (DAC/amp) and then connect this device to a home sound system (via the system’s amplifier).

Stream the sound (wirelessly or via micro USB cable) from your device to an all-in-one high-resolution DAC amplifier/speaker system such as the Sony SRS-X9 Ultra Premium Hi-Res Bluetooth® Speaker.

You can also stream your music wirelessly to certain DAC/amp devices, such as the Sony MAP-S1, using, for example, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® or DLNA technology.
