Q: what is the battery life in the real world

A: more than 30 hours playing audio and more than 6 hours playing video

Q: is the batter user replaceable

A: no

Q: is this device MTP only

A: yes and no, while it is advertised as an mtp only device, the device can be forced into UMS mode via os. I have only forced the driver mode change, I have not tried copying files to it in UMS mode.

Q: does the device have a user EQ

A: yes, in fact it has 2 of them and a bass boost function

Q: what is DSEE

A: a sound enhancement similar to BBE as it tried to regenerate the sound envelope lost in compression

Q: what is clear stereo

A: a sound enhancement to extend the stereo image but is designed for the bundled ear buds

Q: what do I use to convert video for my a810 ?

A: I use psp video 9 as it is free

http://www.pspvideo9.com/

I use a profile of MPEG 4 at 320x240 with a rate of 768kbps and audio at 128kbps

Q: does it have OTG play lists

A: no, not in the current firmware

Q: at only 5mW can it drive large headphones

A: I am guessing that the 5mW is a misprint or very efficient on the player as I am able to power even larger Sennheiser headphones with ample volume.

Q: does it have video out ?

A: not at this time, though the proprietary port may have a connection for it

Q: how is navigation done

A: file and folder and ID3

post to this if you have more information
