Sony chose the recent IFA show held in Berlin to launch its
first Walkman music player equipped to play high-resolution 24/192 audio files.
Powered by Android 4.1, the NWZ-F886 is a 32GB portable music and video player.
It comes pre-installed with apps and connects wirelessly to download more apps
from Google Play. It has a slim, compact design featuring three side-mounted
buttons and a 10.2cm LCD touchscreen. It even boasts a Triluminos display for
mobile, which claims incredibly vivid and life-like colors.
Sony’s high-res
Walkman
Powered by Android
4.1, the NWZ-F886 is a 32GB portable music and video player.
The F886 is packed with audio technologies from Sony,
including the latest S-Master HX digital amplifier that claims to reduce
distortion and noise at all frequency ranges – from ground-shaking lows to
delicate highs – and is optimized for high-resolution audio. Non hi-res
material is also catered for via DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) HX technology,
claiming to restore high-range sound lost in the compression process, while
Clear Audio+ ensures crisp, realistic sound and great clarity. Digital noise
cancelling is also built-in and can be applied to whatever headphones you’re
listening on.

amplifier that claims to reduce distortion and noise at all frequency ranges.
With Near Field Communication (NFC) built-in, you can
wirelessly connect the F886 to a suitably equipped audio device, and if your
devices aren’t NFC-enabled, there’s always Bluetooth.
Battery life claims are around 35 hours for playback of MP3
tracks, but playback time is reduced to 26 hours with high-resolution audio
material. The NWZ-F886 is available from October.
