Sony NW f885 professional evaluation

Sony NWZ F885 MP3 music player supports a variety of lossless formats. In addition to the traditional WAV, AIFF and FLAC formats, l. PCM(AIFF) and Apple Lossless(Alac) formats have been added this time, and the highest resolution of playing audio can reach 192KHz/24bit, far exceeding the sound quality level of traditional CD. In addition, Sony's high-quality audio processing technology has also been integrated into this product. The latest Clear Audio+ technology can effectively optimize the sound effect with a simple operation, bringing a loud sound field and a vocal experience close to the ear. The upgraded S-Master HX digital amplifier can effectively reduce the noise of the high-frequency part when playing, thus achieving clearer sound quality, enjoying richer music details and broad sound field experience. In addition, the DSEE HX function can effectively improve low-quality audio files, so as to achieve the effect that the playback quality is higher than that of CD. F885 is obviously hot when playing music or other operations on the screen, but it is much cooler when playing outside the screen. I don't think this is the short board of an Android machine like F885. It can basically play music for more than 20 hours without loss when the screen is turned off, which is even stronger than many traditional high-quality walkman. Sony NWZ F885 MP3 music player can work continuously for about 35 hours (MP3 128kbps) after a single charge, while playing high-definition audio (192KHz/24bit) can last for 17 hours. In addition, NWZ-F885 is equipped with digital noise reduction function, which can isolate about 98% of ambient sound, and users can choose from three modes to adapt to various environments, such as trains/buses, airplanes and indoors (note: noise reduction function is only effective when connected with standard headphones). In terms of intelligent link, NWZ-F885 supports NFC function, and can be connected with home theaters, stereos and headphones with NFC function, thus abandoning the tedious pairing or link process and realizing a comfortable "one-click TM" experience. Next, let's talk about the sound quality performance of F885. Sony F885' s system is relatively primitive, and there is not much else. However, it is commendable that the system is very clean and there are no redundant applications pre-installed, so it looks very clean and tidy. This also makes F885 still smooth under the condition of low hardware configuration, which is obviously superior to the previous work. In terms of screen display effect, the actual display area of F885 is not large, because the virtual buttons occupy a certain screen space, and the screen display effect is almost the same as that of F800. Although it is not as good as the mid-to high-end mobile phone, it is completely sufficient as a player. The combination of F885 and XBA-H3 has a good matching effect. When ClearAudio+ is turned off, F885 under ClearBass is in the upper-middle position, while H3 is in the lower-middle position, so the combination is only complementary, and the overall trend is relatively balanced and subtle. Although they don't have much sense of low frequency, they can dive well, and the sound lines and contours are clearly described. The intermediate frequency is slightly slender, the high frequency is bright, the sound is a little tight, the details are very rich, and the moving iron tastes a little more, giving people the impression that the hard quality of F885 and H3 is very good, and the sense of hearing is more suitable for listening to popular sounds, especially ACG music and ethereal female voices. Because the sound quality of F885 is better, the effect is improved when the LO output is connected to the amplifier, mainly in the details of sound and the texture of low frequency, but relatively speaking, the author expects the effect of connecting F885 to PHA-2 decoder. As the first walkman player in Hi-Res audio series, F885 has made remarkable progress in operating experience, playing function and sound quality performance compared with the previous generation products. The overall performance is satisfactory, and it has good competitiveness in the mainstream walkman of 1000 yuan. However, Sony released too many good things this time. While feeling the excellent performance of F880 series, we are also looking forward to the upcoming M505 and ZX 1.
