    Thanks for the excellent review Andy. Detailed, accurate and very easy to read. I got the 71 dongle to partner the Timeless and what a match they make. Effortless delivery and really makes the Timeles sound its best. I tried it with my other iem and was as pleasantly surprised. It's truly a good...

    Nice, detailed review. May I know if the housing is made of metal or plastic? Especially the shiny parts. Thanks.

    Venture Electronics Bonus IE - Discussions and Impressions Thread

    KZ ZS3 has a warmer tone. Bass is emphasized closer to mid bass. Mids are slightly more forward. Highs are articulate but not as smooth as BIE. BIE has a flatter tuning. Bass sound more extended and emphasis is towards the lower spectrum of bass. Mids are not as forward as ZS3 but neutral...

    Odyssey HD (featuring VE's new iOS adapter) - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Just got my hands on these. BIE and Odyssey HD. I've been listening to them for a couple of weeks. Compared them to some other equipment I have. These are one of the BEST iems I've ever heard. The combi between BIE and Odyssey HD is superb. Let's start with the stock firmware. I plugged into...

    Have you tried contacting your local SONY Service Center for their help. If anyone can they would be the one. There's probably a locking mechanism in place for regional copyright matters. Anyway, I would try them if I were you. So far, they've been very helpful with my issues.

    SONY NW-ZX100

    For the ZX100, compatible headphones are very important. I found good match with the following headphones. For the cheap, Superlux HD668B, Philips SHP9500, Grados SR Series (up to SR125e) For the Mid Priced, 1More Triple Driver Headphones, Grados SR Series (SR325e), Philips Fidelio X2HR For the...

    SONY NW-ZX100

    I would rate, 1. ZX1 (untouchable resolution and dynamics by the rest here) 2. Tie between ZX100 and Pono (depending on your preference) Pono has balanced outputs which will enable it to sound better than the ZX100 in that respect. Between the two, ZX100 is more balanced sounding and more...

    SONY NW-ZX100

    The LG V30 is a unique smartphone. Quite a few have moved on to the V30 as their daily mobile and dap needs. The V30 is a very capable device as a dap. With very good sound. What I did was find a more compatible earphones/iem to go with the ZX100 in order to stay in the game. One of the best...

    Enjoy your ZX100. It's a great DAP. Plug in and forget about gears....

    Matching! Forgot you can play "dress me up" with the ZX100 too! Awesome..

    SONY NW-ZX100

    You are spot on about the WM1Z. Although for most people the WM1A would be plenty good already. If you can cough it up, the WM1A is the real "upgrade" to the ZX100. However, the sound is one of more relaxed, natural and realistic. You get the sense of listening to real instruments rather than...

    SONY NW-ZX100

    No waaayyy..........that's the most absurd thing I've read/heard so far. Unless my ZX300 is defective, there is a day and night difference to the WM1A. Can you post me the link where Sony engineers said and confirmed that? Not a challenge but I want to read it for myself.

    SONY NW-ZX100

    Power rating is one thing, yes. I suspect the ZX100's gain is designed differently than the ZX300. If you set the ZX300 to high gain then the sound matches better. However, the sound of the ZX100 is still punchier compared to the more refined ZX300. I guess, with that consumer may choose to...

    SONY NW-ZX100

    I have both. The se output on the zx100 is more powerful but more refined on the zx300. Zx300 has a better ui. The drive on the zx300 is much faster when loading songs. I would say 3x faster if not more. The ONLY reason to get the zx300 at the end would be its balanced output. The sound is a big...

    I’d recommend a cleaner/conditioner combo type for the Sony leather. Not sure if ikea absorb is two or one part now but the liquid cleanser may be too wet. If you do, good idea to allow the cleaner to dry somewhat before you apply the conditioner. Wet leather is easily damaged.

    Strange. It doesn't work on the Jotunheim or the WA8.

    Have you tried?

    SONY NW-ZX100

    Just keep in mind that the ZX100 does not have digital output like the zx300. I've failed to connect mine to any standalone DAC. Also, you can use the zx300 as a standalone DAC. So, in this sense the zx100 is typically a hi quality walkman.

    SONY NW-ZX100

    Better sound yes. But the zx100 will also reveal bad recordings. Metal music isn't known for great recording quality..for this type of music your old z3 will do just fine. With classical and almost everything else, the zx100 will triumph. I have the zx100 and feel that the upcoming zx300 has...

    I will try again. The shop I went to had one cable. It worked in connecting the zx100 to the PC. PC detected the dap and could transfer files. So, I assumed the cable was working.

    I did connect via this type of cable to the Jotunheim but nothing happened.
