Sony NW-ZX300

Does anyone have any good IEM recommendations around ~$300 for this DAP? I'm looking at the iSine 10s, AK Billie Jean, and the XBA-N3BP. The N3 looks appealing since it comes with the 4.4mm jack to boot, but not sure if it's the best sound wise.

I am using my ZX300 with Ibasso's IT04 and can't be happier.

Lot cheaper options.. either you can just add an adapter to your existing 2.5mm balanced cable or choose from cheaper options on AliExpress or even locally in HK.
Tried a $15 cheap adapter from a Ali express. but felt decrease in sound quality. Native 4.4mm balanced cable is better.

Anybody faced auto reboot when playing? For me it was frequent everyday until 2.0 update. But recently got again twice in the last ~30 days. I am sure it isn't problem from SD card because it happened playing directly from zx-300s memory as well.

Damn, It looks like the ZX300A has been Out-Of-Stock on Joybuy since November. :cry:
how many more you expect to sell for $300? try from Taobao. Get a freight forwarding agent to ship internationally for you since most shops in Taobao don't ship abroad.

But I see similar priced A&K daps are still at stock.

Features we hope to see in the next firmware
- Queuing of songs
- Support for CUE Sheets
- ReplayGain support
- Improved latency when using USB DAC
- Sound Settings when using Bluetooth
* QUE sheets support, but it can read only APE files at the moment. Besides it will show all QUE files in one list and it's so frustrating to find the album you want to play. They should show make it accessible from folder explorer as well.
* All other points you mentioned are really necessary.
* Also, creating a playlist should be more faster. Respond time when saving a playlist is too slow.

Has anyone managed to BT pair with a OnePlus 5t yet? I`ve tried several times but can`t get them to pair.

Alao, do we have a way turning off the 'creating dat base' every time you switch on/off? I seem to remember something was mentioned when we got the last update.

So any idea if audio book (or any kind of resume) support got added to this player or is it still the same? Thanks, did a search but nothing much came up which suggests not. Shame as I would buy a sony in a second and be done :frowning2:

What volume do you guys tend to listen at? From what I've seen the majority of users play their music around ~75, which is painfully loud for me (I might just be using sensitive cans, idk). Would the volume level affect battery life much? I usually have my volume around ~30 on my A45 so perhaps I could squeeze in extra hours on a ZX300 since that's relatively low.
