How is the Bluetooth range on the A55? I use a 1Z and ZX300 at home and purchased a Japanese A306 for work. This is my first android dap, which I thought might open up some potential to try new music with apps like Bandcamp etc, but the low specs give it some lag (even trimming the bloatware), there are extra steps to play music compared to a Sony OS, it has really, really weak Bluetooth which is my main use at work, and the wifi struggles to connect to the extender and maintain a decent connection. I know it's a small device and wasn't expecting the performance of my higher end phone but didn't realise it would be like this. I'll more than likely sell it and will consider at rusty old Sony OS A55. I prefer USB-C, but I have spare cables and an old adapter to keep at work and in the car should I have to charge it.
Tried lowering BT playback quality? For instance I believe LDAC runs at the threshold of what is possible (at least on previous gen BT hardware) so it's really susceptible to interference & dropouts.
I wouldn't expect it to be much different than those other walkmen- I think it's fairly similar to my old A10 series, maybe slightly better/less prone to back pocket dropouts at least.
