The device also includes an AI-powered sound engine called DSEE Ultimate, which the company claims can upscale compressed audio, improve CD quality 16-bit lossless codec audio, and restore acoustic subtleties and dynamic range.'
Sony's current release supports various audio formats, including MP3, FLAC, WMA, AAC, AIFF, DSD, and Apple Lossless. It ships with Android 12 and allows users to install popular music streaming apps like Spotify, Deezer, and others from the Google Play Store.
