NW-A35

The NW-A35 is a 10th-generation A Series Network Walkman with 16 GB storage supporting DSD playback. A lithium-ion battery provides up to 45 hours of use with touchscreen control, WM-PORT, and photo playback.

This continued the compact high-resolution A Series direction. The A35 marks the point when the line settles into its clearest modern role as the accessible high-resolution Walkman. Earlier generations had already clarified the formula. The A30 family polishes it further, making the product feel more user-friendly and built for continuity instead of reinvention. Sony had decided what the branch was for and was now simply making it better.
