Can't wait for the review of this as it looks interesting and at a good price point. I did notice that it does have a MicroSD card slot on the bottom of the player so possibly this could augment the onboard storage?Screenshot 2023-01-12 at 14.17.27.png

18GB of 'useable' internal storage. How many DSDs will that be good for? 🤨
Still, today's price for a Sandisk 400GB card is £35.45 (half of what it was not that long ago).
And the player itself can be pre-ordered for £300.
Watch out A&K.......maybe.....

Yes, but for the moment the Maximum capacity of this additiona SD card remains a mistery and to me this will make the difference between purchasing or not the Sony NW-A306. If the SD capacity will be at least 1 Tb I will certainly purchase this unit, as a gift to a friend, comparable to my current A&K SR25 MKII.

I texted a guy from Sony on their official site and asked whether this device will have EU volume limiting and warning built in. I live in UK, own the A106, and absolutely loath this in European models, it can't be disabled.
He wasn't sure, asked a colleague and said yes, the new models would have it.
That's a deal-breaker for me, unless I try to source an American or Japanese market model.

What is the theoretical maximum capacity storage per SD card type?​

Sony Walkman devices that can use SD cards support the following standards:

  • For micro SDXC cards, the Walkman supports up to 2TB.
  • For Micro SDHC cards, the Walkman supports up to 32 GB
  • For micro SDSC cards, the Walkman supports up to 2 GB.
