I had that cable before when I was using the SONY PHA-1a (USB DAB Headphone amp) and I suspect its just a normal micro USB to the SONY Walkman proprietary connector. That additional metal connector next to the micro USB doesn't have any pins...

Hi, is there already a fix for M11s when playing Tidal MQA songs? Seems like when we click to stream on MASTER quality on Tidal the MQA icon doesn't show up at the top, but streaming at 88.2K or some at 96K. However, when you switch the same song to stream at HiFi quality on Tidal the MQA icon...

Yes and the Spotify Lite is so much better running on this ageing ZX2 better than the full blown Spotify app which feels so much lag. For me as my audio source are from Spotify, hence as long as ZX2 can still runs Spotify Lite... I can see myself still holding onto this device :beyersmile:

Yeah I still using my ZX2 till today and I just match it with the new Fiio FH7s and its fantastic :beyersmile::L3000: Only if the device can work a bit faster haha especially on Spotify. I pray hard that Spotify please do not remove support for Android 4.x as I noticed I couldn't launch YouTube...

Hmm... I kind of forget how to add/remove page on the Home Screen of ZX2. Or set the a page to become default page. Any help? Thanks.

Nope, mine doesn't either. Mine is Asia Pacific model.

I have finally switch my XBA-A3 stock cable to a new 8-core copper cable with a 2.5mm balanced jack. I then plug it into a 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm balanced jack before going into the ZX2. Honestly, my ears is not sensitive enough to differentiate between 3.5mm unbalanced with this new setup...

Google announced few days ago and it will be soon https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/7/18130729/google-play-service-support-ending-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich

Hmm.. with now Google officially not supporting Android v4, we may not even able to get official app update from Google Store soon and need to resort to sideload APK

Yes, there is no firmware upgrade for ZX2 since post production unit other than a small bump of JP domestic variant as per my understanding. My unit is showing Android version 4.2.2 Kernel version 3.0.31 and Build number 1.00.0009 I don't have 400GB microSD so I'm not sure on that speed.

Just like @mathi8vadhanan mentioned, it now can act as a Bluetooth receiver and play the song though.

I went for the Sony hosted event of Z1R, M9 and M7 audition last week and came across that the WM1Z gains a firmware which allows it to act as a streaming receiver device mode. You can stream from your phone (or any Bluetooth capable device) to the WM1Z (via LDAC, aptx HD, SBC and etc). It...

I think the ZX2 hardware is ageing and it may not served you well in terms of streaming speed (or even normal operation may lag, unless you have the patience like me haha...). I am using the ZX2 primarily for Spotify and I do feel the lag which is due to the hardware couldn't cope with the...

Yes, the only thing at times annoy me is the lag of the device because of the ageing Processor and limited memory coupled with Android 4 which is not so optimized in terms of performance. But then if we put that aside, this thing is a beast and the sound stage is phenomenal, at least for my ears...
