Sony YY2995 - USB Type-C Audio Box (Update)
A new model has been revealed by a Korean RRA certification, YY2995, described as an "USB Type-C Audio Box". Could this be a new Sony USB DAC amp like the PHA-3?
Update: Checking the INZONE E9 reference guide, we have confirmation that YY2995 is the audio box for the the model.
The certification reveals that whatever this is, will be made in Vietnam. But would a wireless certification mean it would have Bluetooth and/or WiFi for audio streaming? I have checked other certification websites, and so far found nothing. The certifications is below with a translated version.
If anyone has any other theories or ideas, drop them in the comments. Are there competing DAC amps that feature Bluetooth or even WiFi?
Last time I saw Sony use the term audio box was with the InZone H3 USB adapter https://www.speedyspares.com/shop/sony/5319-sony-headphone-usb-audio-box-inzone-h3.html. This was USB A so maybe this is a C variant for your previously rumoured new headset. On the other hand I think they abandoned the need for an adapter with InZone H5. And not sure why it would need wireless certification, maybe just as an accessory for a new hybrid headset?
ReplyDeleteno the H5 still uses an adapter (YY2979) which comes with the headset, which I believe is required when using the headset for gaming.
Deletethe new unreleased inzone headset already has a usb transceiver, YY2998, with the headset being YY2987, so I don't think it is for this.
Not sure why sony would add a wireless audio box for an non-wireless headset. Why not just make the headset wireless?
Something similar to the JBL transmitter perhaps?
DeleteI hope... 😁
Mikael, you were spot on with this, this audio box was for the newly announced inzone E9. nice work.
DeleteMaybe, it is the DMP-Z1M2
