Sony NW-ZX300
Okay, so I rationalised and changed up my ZX-300 rig again. You see, you're dealing with EXPENSIVE sh it to me. IER-M7s aren't cheap to me. I don't want to scratch em and the binding post Sony gives you takes about 5 minutes to stow the IEMs in properly, not practical. Also having the whole unit...- forper

Sony NW-ZX300
Thank you, it has improved the situation, but I still get the issue sometimes. The holes seem to instantly heal themshelves. Should I use a bigger guage needle and try to make a visible hole? Anyway my ZX300 was moving around a little too much on the move with my current rig so I added a pouch...- forper

IER-M7s. I'm having issues lately with pressure in my ears when I insert them. Tried different rubber covers, either too lose, too tight or perfect but with air bubbles when I insert. Never had this issue with my beloved MDR-EX700s. When I get the M7s to fit properly they sound better than I...- forper

This is what it's come to. I decided to dump the dumb ass remote and just hook up a lanyard I had to the unit itself. Now it's a backlit full colour remote and I can check track info when I want- forper

Sony NW-ZX300
Been enjoying mine, using daily for my commute. Good sound but representative of the way things everywhere are homogenising and regressing into an inferior mess. It's like there's more choice but somehow less substance in everything now. Sony makes their DAP the way they do because everyone...- forper

Music Centre folder dissappeared!
I have an external HDD with my Music Centre files. But the files stopped showing in the explorer. They are still there because Music Centre can access them but I want to make a backup and I can't see them anymore!??! this all started because I suddenly couldn't rip my new CDs with Music Centre...- forper

Sony's DSD-capable PHA-2 portable headphone amp/DAC
So I got this, better condition than I expected and the battery seems solid. Works great as intended as my desktop pre-amp/DSD decoder. As an experiment I tried hooking up my ZX300 DAP via it's WM port to the PHA-2s USB but I couldn't get any sound out. Any advice on if this should be...- forper

I managed to secure an apartment a 40 minute commute from work. Getting set for extended ZX300 listening :cool: Over the last few months, on my many bus travels to view new apartments (to extend my commute and therefore ZX300 listening time) I got more and more used to the ZX300 and its...- forper

you might be even more underwhelmed by the balanced. It requires more power of course but to me through IER-M7s it sings with high gain and at around 80/120 with most music. I'm in audio heaven at that point and can listen satisfied for hours with no fatigue or pain. I don't know about the...- forper

I deployed my ZX300 today for a long range mission. My commute is too short to use it regularly. I loved it. I'm gonna move further away from work just to use my ZX300 more.- forper

that sucks, how old is your DAP? Sounds like the sound I get when I got a bad relay in a full size amplifier.- forper

Got a good deal on a sight unseen Sony PHA-2 Headphone amp from Sofmap. Cheapest price I'd seen (just north of 10,000yen) and have seen cosmetically trashed ones for 20,000 yen plus. This will be my desktop DAC/DSD decoder and I can put my ZX300 on full time portable duty instead of desktop DAC...- forper

Glad I've got my ZX300. No interest in ZX500, it seems like a ZX300 for the masses who somehow can't live without WiFi or spotify or some other crap that tells you what music you like.- forper
