      There are plenty of audiophiles who are audio engineers. Is that something you can only do after you're 50 now?

      By that same logic a Michelin chef doesn't know the difference between a medium rare steak and a well done steak?

        rizki1, 16 Apr 2023wow, this non-chinese brand has been copying since decades ... moreThis article just praise Apple, Sony had walkman way before first Ipod and it was really successfull. And not just casette walkman they had digital one with display too like E series.

        In 1989 Sony released first Video walkman,

        So it was Apple who emulate Walkman and other early Music players but here they potrayed them as inventors and others Copy Apple

          You really need to be an audiophile nerd to go around with a separate music player these days. Typically these nerds will be over 50 and their ears would not be able to tell a FLAC file from an MP3 file in a blind test.

            wow, this non-chinese brand has been copying since decades ago. But better than Apple.
