Sometimes it's not about the numbers. I tested the WH-1000XM4 with LDAC with hiRes files through ZX507 as the source and yet the B&O H95 with its 24-bit 48kHz sampling over aptX HD still sounded much clearer and better all round. The bass/subbass is much lower, quite punchy, super clear. The...

I will be sure to try out those detailed steps and revert with my findings. I am running the latest version v2.02.01 on the ZX507. By far the best DAP out there for the price IMO. I will be posting my review on the new B&O H95 streaming via Bluetooth with ZX507 as the source. The results are...

You could not have put it better than that. It was my thoughts as well which you managed to put into words. I'm actually okay without the TA-ZH1ES as I am very happy with the ZX507 on its own. If I do get a good offer on this 1mth old TA-ZH1ES I may let it go :). Its good to have at the same...

You're right. The only problem is my station is already overloaded as you can see from the pic. Need to re-organise a little. Thanks man!

Just a mobile metal stand from this brand called Ugreen. I couldn't the exact one on Amazon but was able to locate it locally https://www.lazada.com.my/-i445847380-s666537004.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1

Good point but I can't do that as the Walkman connection from the TA-ZH1ES to the ZX507 has no charge (clearly stated as well in the operating instructions of the amp). Each time i use is from 100% to 10% (which doesn't take long on High Gain) then I have to recharge the player again. For...

Nope. Had the player since Dec 2019 and the battery life always sucked from the start haha. It never improved nor deteriorated. Once it hits 100% power, if you notice it cuts off the charging and the little orange light in front stops shining.

I would like to draw the attention of those who seek to find a balanced crisp and amazing combination that just fits! So much so, I sold all my other gear as mentioned in my previous post as I have found the perfect match FOR ME! The Sony IER-Z1R, TA-ZH1ES, along with the ZX507 (with v2.0.1...

I use a 45W wall charger with a type C to typeC connection and it charges from 0 to 100% in 1hr 15min. The standard cable that comes with the player charges in about 2hrs off my pc

I sold my DT 1990 Pro unfortunately before trying that combination. However I wouldn't recommend those with the ZX507 because it's optimal power is provided from the Balanced 4.4mm output. 3.5mm only outputs 50mW+50mW on High Gain and may need an external amp to drive the 1990 Pros. The...

IMO definitely! But pair with a Sony headphone especially the signature series Z1Rs and you got something special. At least I’ve found my nirvana with ZX507 and the IER-Z1R. I had the AK, it had tremendous power to drive any headphone out there but the interface was annoying me...SQ wise not...

yes i did update it last night but not sure if it made any difference to the sound quality as I'm using a whole new IEM hence I may be putting it down to the IER-Z1R. I may need to retry my MDR-Z1R to listen to any difference although the sound signature for both Z1R's are very similar though...

Well so far, after 250hrs of burn in on the ZX507 DAP, out of the box the IER-Z1R sounds exceptional! Did a demo for hours using the Z1R on DMP-Z1 and of course there's no match to that but have to say the burned in ZX507 is not that far off. Sounds equally exquisite as well IMO. So far all...

How’s the ZX507 after full burn in now? Do I have to continuously run it playing for 250hrs to get proper burn in? Or is it just to speed up the process? anyway I just demo the M7, M9, and Z1R at Sony Store extensively against the demo unit ZX507 and went ahead with the Z1R! I shall be...

That's useful information for me. Yea I don't like it too bright. I can't take too much treble hence I don't use my DT1990 Pro much. The next i head to Sony Store will test and compare all 4 IEMs ie. XBA-Z5, M7, M9, and the Z1R

You could try this out on your MAC. Need to install Android File Transfer. https://www.sony.com.hk/en/electronics/support/digital-music-players-nw-nwz-zx-series/nw-zx507/articles/00234112

I was just thinking of XBA-Z5 if I were to pair the ZX507 with an IEM. When i tried it at Sony Store they sounded awesome with a great attack to most modern music. Haven't tried the M9 though. My other option is the IER-Z1R (could be the ultimate pair for IEMs on Balanced). At the office now...

I didn't say it doesn't have DAC. I know what these are just wasn't sure if it was their own or 3rd party one. Thanks for pointing out Sony' DSP processing. That's new to me. No doubt this player has been really enjoyable on all fronts from all the cans i've thrown at it. I don't think i will...

You should go with the ZX507 hands down and you won't regret at this price even for the most hardcore SQ enthusiast you can't really criticize the sheer brilliance in clarity and detailing in sound on this DAP. Truly enjoyable with LDAC and wired headphones.

Have been using the Sony NW-ZX507 DMP for a week now and I have to say I'm so impressed by what they've done with the player which enabled me to get to details that I haven't reached on my headphones before. Here's a quick view of what I've been using: Wired Over the Ear Headphones: Sony...
