It does use thinfilm capacitors, FT highest grade capacitors, Nichicon Capacitors and Panasonic. Also has F-Resistors everywhere, RK50 attenuator. Not sure about the battery feeling and what about charging time or play time ? The OS seems to be Walkman OS similar to WM1Z.
What I don’t get is why using AKM chips and Op-amps vs Discrete Amplifier designs ? Discrete amplifiers can be made so compact and yet powerful with excellent low noises performances.
Anyways, I thought Sony was going with something ground breaking, like an R2R hybrid design with S-Master HX or whatever, but off the shelves and exotic parts ? It can be made by any china designers right ? There is no value in “off the shelves” parts that justify $7k price tag
The irony is that, this is Aluminum version. Wait until you see limited OFC-Gold plated chassis DMP-Z1Z
