Received my second hand A55 today. Region changed to J and installed the A50R fw set to high gain and source direct. Copied some high res flac and dsd albums and am listening now with IER-Z1R. Don’t have my 1Z with me to compare with but it sounds absolutely fantastic

Yes. There is probably no doubt that the 1Z has more detail, refinement and control let alone power, but I could eassily just live with this one, it really is very, very good and even better with the modded fw.
And the build quality and feel is clearly better than the A45

By the way, the A55 can handle more tracks in the database than the A45. The A45 topped out somewhere around 36-38.000 tracks while the A55 handles all my 45.000 tracks just like the 1Z does

While I'm impressed by the sound of the A55L with MrWalkmans R firmware I'm not impressed by the battery life. Playing 16/44 flac with source direct I get about 10 hours play time and 3 days stand by on a 90% (battery saver enabled) charge before the low battery warning comes up, a far cry from the promissed >30 hours play time. On the stock 1Z I get over 20 hours play time plus 7 days stand by

It promisses 39 hours play time with flac 24/96

No I haven't but on the other hand I never expected anything like those official specs. I have previously had an A45 where the published specs are about the same but that also only delivered actual specs near what I'm experiencing on the A55 perhaps a little better but I suspect that running high gain on the A55 consumes a bit extra
