Hi does anyone know if its possible to use the Sony NW-A55 with a USB DAC ?

you can use the A55 in USB DAC mode, eg. connecting the A55 to the PC via USB cable and then activate the DAC Mode and play the audio trough the USB DAC functionality out to the headphones/loudspeaker.
no, you can also it for example for lstening youtube on firefox, for example, but there is some lag, so its not very useful, only for processing music.
you just need to tap DAC symbol and change the audio output on the PC to the Walkman.
if i remember well, it did function also on LInux, but am not entirely positive on this.
Sorry, but i am not really versed in the HiFi section, but this one i tried
All the best + Happy Natale.
i remember it would function with the NW-A45, so it should be the same with the NW-A55.
don't remember if the driver was necessary on Windows, probably yes.
No it does not seem related to mrWalkman's firmware. I suspect the issue is in the cable, maybe the stock USB cable does not allow for USB-DAC connection
