DSEE Ultimate™
Audio upscaling is improved even further by our DSEE Ultimate™ processor which intelligently recognises instruments, voices and musical genres. By identifying these, and the relative energy of the audio, it can accurately rebuild audio lost during digital compression, for a full fidelity experience, even with compressed formats. The DSEE Ultimate™ reproduces the frequency responses and the dynamic range of the original sound source accurately using AI technology.
DSD playback
Experience the natural sound and intense detail of DSD audio formats up to 11.2MHz, thanks to the NW-A100 series’s high-quality PCM conversion.
NFC™ One-touch and Bluetooth® for instant connectivity
Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth wireless technology make connecting to your music fast and easy. Just touch your NFC-enabled device to your A100 series for a quick, seamless connection, then start streaming. No NFC? No problem. Connect via Bluetooth and you’re ready to go. LDAC™ and aptX™ HD audio compatibility is available.
Rigid aluminium milled frame for improved sound quality
The premium aluminium milled frame provides superior rigidity for low impedance and clear, stable sound and solid bass.
Film capacitor
High-quality film capacitors are used in the amplification stage to help the NW-A100 series realise transparent, expansive highs and natural sound.
Fine Sound Resistor
The surface mounted Fine Sound Resistor ensures even, effective distribution of power to the circuit components, for consistent sound quality.
Optimised circuit board layout
By dividing the Audio block (highlighted in red) and the Power/Digital block (in blue), the circuit board layout has been optimised to ensure sound quality is unaffected by digital noise.
Advanced solder containing gold for clearer sound
The exceptional conductivity of gold ensures absolute minimum signal loss. For clearer sound and vocals, a premium, audio-grade lead-free solder with a small amount of gold connects the circuit of the NW-A100 series to the battery.
Supported by Android™
The NW-A100 series is supported by Android™, giving you easy access to a huge range of media apps and music services.

Ambient Sound mode lets essential audio in
When you’re using the compatible IER-NW510N headphones, activate Ambient Sound mode and you’ll hear external sound along with your music. This is ideal for keeping you in touch with the outside world, traffic and announcements.
Smaller headphones, even higher quality sound
The new IER-NW510N headphones for the NW-A100 series offers even better quality sound than their predecessors, the IER-NW500N, yet they’re approximately half the size. So you can enjoy an even more comfortable listening experience.

Up to 26 hours’ battery life
When fully charged you can enjoy up to 26 hours of music playback when playing MP3s at 128kbps. Perfect for the daily commute or just being out and about.
Vinyl Processor
Give the warmth and character of vinyl back to your digital tracks and get lost again in the richness of the melodies and dynamics of your favourite albums. Enjoy subtle reproduction of the low-frequency resonance, tone-arm resistance and surface noise to deliver an authentic listening experience.
Walkman 40th Anniversary Package
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the ground-breaking TPS-L2 Walkman, we’ve created an exclusive Walkman 40th Anniversary Package.
