New Head-Fier
At the risk of stating the obvious, I'm sure there will be quite a few ZX1s on the 2nd-hand market, during the coming weeks.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for...and then I might get the ZX2 when the ZX3 comes out!

Oh absolutely - Maybe spin it another way around, would be interested in first reviews to see what is actually brought to the table for those that don't want to listen to the weedy output that Sony are renowned for these days from their headphone out...Come on Duncan,you are more experienced than many of us,you know thats not how things work in the audiophile world.Are your se846 2x better than se535?
The zx2 will probably be around 10-15% better in SQ than zx1 with more storage,better battery,probably better amp and a huge premium as the now top of sonys dap line up.
Well I think it looks the part. It matches the good looks of the PHA-3 well. I'm not particularly keen on spending $2500 on a AK240 I can tell you that much. The ZX2 might fill that gap between the iPhone 6 and AK240 for some. I guess we will see when the reviews come out.
Full details on link below... UK price £950

I'll be getting mine from Price-Japan, sod paying the UK price.
I've just checked price japan, the site seems over priced, even the ZX1 is listed for 98800 yen, whiles it's officially sold in japan for 71130 yen.
Maybe you can ask someone from this forum who lives in japan to get it for you.
I'm kind of disappointed that Sony got rid of the slim design and the aluminium chassis of the ZX1, I think they give the device an elegant touch. The ZX2, on the other hand, looks too bulky for my taste. Its size worries me and it also weighs twice as much as the ZX1. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a portable audio player?
Anyway, I'm looking forwad to hearing from you how the ZX2 fares in terms of sound quality compared with its predecessor. I think I'll stick with the ZX1, though.
As long as you are not a Gundam aficionado, you can grab the ZX1 for 59.055 Yen.

Is that why the price was so high, I didn't realize it was GD, now I know what all that GD and 0000 stuff mean't.
Thanks for letting me know.
I'm wondering why anyone would splash out an extra 40.000 Yen on this model. But I think people in Asia are a little more obsessed with Gundam than Europeans or Americans.
