Every part of the NW-A306 Walkman is engineered to deliver clean, high-resolution audio; from the aluminum chassis to the gold-infused solder connecting internal components, such as the S-MASTER HX hi-res audio amplifier. The result is support for DSD audio up to 11.2 MHz, Hi-Res Audio/Hi-Res Audio Wireless, and LDAC processing, MQA support, and more. Everything is easily managed through the 3.6 touchscreen and Android 12 OS.

Up to 36 hours of hi-res playback is possible via Wi-Fi streaming or local PC library access, or from files loaded in the Walkman's 32GB of internal memory or on an optional microSD card. The use of the S-MASTER HX hi-res audio amplifier allows for compatibility with the Native DSD format, providing balanced and high power output. It also helps reduce distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies. Thanks to high-quality PCM conversion, DSD audio formats up to 11.2 MHz are possible.

Within the aluminum frame are a host of other components that are similarly designed to expand the acoustic capabilities of the NW-A306 Walkman.

Delivers voltage with a linear response across frequencies, resulting in reduced distortion and noise. Ensures even, effective distribution of power to the circuit components for consistent sound quality. The exceptional conductivity of gold is used to minimize signal loss for a clearer sound and vocals.
