You can add a 512GB micro-SD for $50.

  I think that's not the point. They are making a product seemingly targeted at audiophiles and they don't provide enough storage (for the amount of music an audiophile might have), while showing off some obscure features like the gold plated components

    It has an SD card slot for unlimited storage practically, what are you complaining about?

    It doesn't "provide enough storage" because it's not supposed to provide storage. You're supposed to provide your own storage, whatever amount you see fit, and you are able to upgrade it at any time. I know people nowadays are used to not having any control over their storage and simply throwing their device in the trash and buying a new one every few years when it's no longer enough, but it wasn't like this in the past.

  The transfer speeds wouldn't be as good as a built-in SSD though, right? Maybe that's just not a big enough deal to matter?
  • kramerger 4y ago
    Why would it matter for audio?
    • brundolf 4y ago
      If you're moving a terabyte of music to the device from your computer where it lives, that could matter
      • kramerger 4y ago
        How often do you move terabytes of data - to a device with much smaller capacity?

    In this case storage should be mainly used for music. I don't think an SSD is going to make a big difference, assuming Sony's software supports playing from SD cards.

    It's for playing audio mate, not playing games. Sure, loading a large FLAC library onto a microSD will initially take longer, but the thing only needs to be done once, and many audio enthusiastsnwill already have microSD cards with it on.
