NW-A100TPS

First USB-C
NW-A100TPS

The NW-A100TPS is a 13th-generation A Series Network Walkman with 16 GB storage supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, Linear PCM, and DSD playback. A lithium-ion battery delivers up to 26 hours of use with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, touchscreen control, USB-C, video playback, and photo playback. It represented the Android-powered evolution of the A Series lineup.

This player is best understood as a commemorative branch of the Android-powered A100 generation instead of a separate structural step. The A Series had now crossed back into touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and app-capable territory. This special edition is part of the moment where Sony redefined the compact premium Walkman for a world where even a dedicated player had to coexist with streaming-era habits instead of standing outside them.
