Sony began catering to well-off audiophiles last month with its High
Resolution Audio series, but it left out portable music fans and those
with existing audio systems. The company is covering those gaps in its
lineup this weekend. Its new PHA-2 (shown above) is billed as the first
portable amplifier/DAC combo to support "virtually every" studio-grade
audio format, including
24-bit/192KHz
PCM files; it can handle digital audio from PCs and iOS devices, as
well as analog audio for other sources.
