Hi Paul...
1) - EAC or dbpoweramp would be my vote, FLAC would be preferred format
2) - What would be your budget?
3) - Sorry, no idea!
2) budget for headphones say £500

Sound preference? (bright, bassy etc)?2) budget for headphones say £500

Do you believe, that the ZX2 itself is technically more advanced, than the PHA-3?
I know that these are very different products.
Can I ask some total nub-question?
1. Does an Amp only enhance what comes out of the headphones or does it influence the sound signature too?
2. Am I right, that the MDR-Z7 on its own would be no good with the NW-ZX2 because the X2 has not enough output for it?
3. What do you think about the XBA-H3 with the X2?
Now I have the X1 with the psb M4U 2. To my untrained ears that sounds quite good, but the headphones are to big and uncomfortable to wear in public. So when I leave the house I am stuck with crappy in ears. So with the X2 I would very much like to pair it with better in-ears.
I'd like the cable to be replaceable due to many cable-problems in my past and for now I'd like to not spent more then 350 Euros
I hear 80th rock and pop and like bass but my ears are not the best due to spending that said 80th in the Disco with very little other hobbies

Hi I'm new to this forum so please be gentle! I'm interested in the ZX2, and have the following questions:
1) I have a lot of CD's what would've the best possible file format for transferring these into the zx2 and how would I do this (which PC software is best?)
2) what portable headphones do you think would do this player justice? Just looking for some ideas, could be 'in ear' or 'on ear'
3) do you think that will sony bring an optional silver aluminium surround? (I just prefer the look of the zx1)
Thanks
Paul
You mean better sound right? I hope so. The PHA-3 sounds really good and compared very well to mid-grade desktop amplifier. However, it has output is still slightly weak to drive harder to drive cans such as the HD800 optimally. For easier to drive phones such as the Sony MDR-Z7, it works really well.

What is so wrong with a hi-rez PCM to begin with? Most DSD spent part of its life as Hi-rez PCM. A pure DSD transfer are not widely popular due to associated cost so a direct DSD recordings are even more scarce. To be quite frank, I'm a big fan of SACD (DSD) but I find DVD-A (Hi-Rez PCM) to be just as great sounding if not better. This is depending on the player implementation.
So the ZX2 is going to come out with balanced trrs out?
Is it the same jack as the ones configured in hm901 balance?
Well SQ is a quit broad term. For example:
The ZX2 has two dedicated crystal oscillators. Will the PHA-3 have the same amount technical finesse, if I can call it that.
