Oh, I have a walkman nw-a55 and I find its performance and construction disappointing. I don't like the sound or the amplification.
I find Apple's small DAC much more convenient and equivalent... although my favorite device is a generic external audio card connected to three simple amplifiers
The change for me is in trying headphones with different firms, although... when the right music appears, the equipment doesn't matter much
I've had a few less expensive daps and I didn't like them, they were annoying to use and the amplification made things louder but not necessarily better, and they were still expensive. The DX240 was different, it functions smoothly and the sound is legitimately much better, I can hear details in songs I can't hear on my other equipment. The presentation is a lot more refined, there's no rough edges or digital feeling, instruments and voices sound realistic and the imaging is crazy.
I tried upgrading my headset to the Mest MKII and I didn't like it despite the technical improvements, but upgrading my source to the DAP was the major change I was looking for.
