I'm interested in this as well as the wire on my es7 broke   bump

I noticed that as well when I converted Lupe Fiasco's "The Cool" cd to wav lossless onto my walkman and noticed no difference with the 320kbps counterparts. Maybe the album is poorly mastered

Does The Z series have on-the-go playlist support? it's practically the only gripe I have with my X-series, also how is the usability of the device without dedicated playback buttons like on the X-series? being able to pause and change songs blindly is one of the best assets of my X-series.

Yeah I like how I don't have to look at my X series Walkman when changing a song while driving, or pretty much any occasion which calls for blind controls. However the sheer power and features of the player seem intriguing, how it competes with the ipod touch may be another story though  ...

I'm slightly disappointed with Sony not implementing playback buttons on the top of the player ala X1000. Also not sure how I feel about the 3.5mm jack being on the bottom, but that's just me being fussy. It looks superb, hopefully their pricing will be reasonable *crosses fingers*

Age:17 Grade:11 (I think, America's system confuses me)   First major audiophile item I bought was my Sony X-series Walkman last year, I almost cried when it practically purged my bank account of it's money, its all part of the fun though :P   Anyone had friends steal your headphones...

Really? Man I would like to try out one then, is it just one custom playlist or no limit?

Nice man, now I want one and I already own an X series :P One thing that bugged me about sony walkmans though is that they never had on-the-go playlist support. Does yours have that feature?

The Denon C751 has great bass, those + Sony Walkman X1060 =
