One thing to note about Sony android players is that the European models have ferocious volume limits; neither having high gain mode, nor the grunt to drive more inefficient headphones in low gain mode.
This appears to be set as a value in a read only database that would require root to remove. A method to acquire root is not known to be available on any of them.

- Doxin 4y agoThat's odd, AFAIK the EU only requires a warning at a certain volume level. My android phone will give you a warning that you've set the volume to the limit once, but then allows you to increase it further after dismissing the warning anyways.
- Tsiklon 4y agoThey certainly do that in Europe too, but they also hard limit the output of the player. Even the balanced output, which should offer more power is limited to the same volume as the 3.5mm output.
