I actually think it's my standard cable rather than the headphone which is better, I've noticed there are some vertical slits that I might be able to pop a knife into and lever it out a bit - need a magnifying glass before attempting that though, will give that a go before the glue but...

Big fan of my n3s, I got a balanced cable but reverted back to the stock normal cable as the only balanced output I have is a zx300 and I found I was switching the cables too often, which leads me onto my question / help request - My right earbud disconnects too easily now, luckily not bad...

Has anyone been able to get MQA working from Tidal to the ZX300 in USB DAC mode or was this still a non-starter? ie No MQA via USB DAC mode full stop? Checking through the pages on here, it looks like a no but there’s a lot to get through! I hadn’t even realised that Tidal now supports MQA on...

Thanks ailean, sorry for the slow response - so it's a bit flakey with the XS, will try and get my hands on a camera adapter to give it a go this end and see how I get on. Cheers

I've been having a dig through the forum to find out exactly how to connect an iphone (xr) to the zx300 and use it as a dac via the lightning port but can't seem to see a guarenteed solution. I've tried using the supplied usb connector with an iphone xr + and a sony usb to wmport cable, turning...

Anyone know if it's possible to display tracklistings during playback for mixes or radio shows for example? I usually tag up my files using foobar2000 and have always put tracklisting and details for mixes in a Comment field but there's no way to surface this in the ZX300. Is there any...

I'll echo what a few have said, I'm in love with the rapid start up / database load speed that the 2.01 update brought - I have an almost full 400gb card and with 2.00 it was so sluggish to start up, was an unexpected but great improvement when I went for 2.01. Considering a 512gb Samsung card...

I've finally joined the balanced club, got my muc-m12nb1 cable from Accessory Jack (great service, thanks to everyone who recommended) and using with a pair of N3s and sounding very nice so far - now time to get to the 200 hours and see how much things change! I know from other messages a few...

Looking at this tweet, it seems like the price for the N3BP is dropping pretty rapidly at the moment in Japan (see attached) [source: https://twitter.com/otikanomiya/status/1002818862998433792 ] That's just over £150, I keep checking the price of the N3AP in the UK and it's been a steady £210...

Yeah think you're right unfortunately, would be great to have someone monitor these boards or at least have a way to suggest things but not likely. As it's their own OS there is the semi hope that they'd want iterations to improve things beyond basic bug fixes. Sorting albums by artist name...

Yep it's terrible, I have some long audio books that crashed it every time I tried to change their tags. Gave up very quickly and went back to foobar2000.

I got two of these that work well, I keep the original one in the box at home: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-micro-USB-plug-conversion-adapter-Walkman-WMP-NWM-Japan-F-S-with-tracking/202314461004

After nearly two months with my zx300, overall I'm very happy, here are a couple of additions I'd love adding in future firmware updates: - Search: has been mentioned a few times on this thread, the speed of scrolling of the lists kind of makes it not essential but would be nice - Sorting: I...

Post back on these High Gain battery tests - very interested to see the results. Not strictly on topic but as a lot of you (seems the majority) own a pair of the N3BPs, has any of you bought the standard 3.5mm cable to use it with non balanced sources? What's the cost / part number? One other...

Hello all, got a quick question on the battery for the ZX300. I'm using mine at work listening to Tidal via my laptop or old phone and the USB DAC function - now when using my laptop is it better to turn on 'Charge this player from the device'? Will it prolong or shorten the lifespan of the...

I changed mine from CEW2 to E first to check the volume limit lifted ok as that was the main thing I was interested in - my language was already on English. Checked the playlists and had no 'Create' option but could add bookmarks as expected. Later on I swapped from E to J and then I could...

Just to confirm this, mine is UK. Although I don't use playlists often it's nice to have the ability to create them and the naming of them is much handier than trying to remember which bookmark list I might have added things to. Still find it a bit bizarre it's only available on the Japan region...

I got mine from Amazon, was at £477 but goes up and down to around £510 - might even be user specific depending on how often you view so worth clearing cookies and checking in with a vpn active for example. When I was looking to buy a few people on here suggested AccessoryJack which seems a...

Did this as a test and it works like a charm, funny that it's the case.

Enjoying the ZX300 right now, in DAC mode from Tidal + Z1 Compact and with beyerdynamic dt1350 and realise I have absolute zero need for any EQing - all sounding so good already with no burn in. Have always needed some eq in the past to avoid some muddiness with the dt1350 in a few cases. Loving it

... IGNORE - Double Post attempting to add an extra quote ...

The ZX300 (arriving today :o2smile:) will be the only 4.4mm jack in all my gear, I think I fancy the flexibility of using the N3 with a standard 3.5mm with other stuff, I've been after a new pair of in ears for a while and I always like the Amazon returns. Plus it will give me a good chance to...

Cheers for taking a look - saved me some money and effort trying that, thanks

Have just been reading about the bookmarks on Sony's help site (http://helpguide.sony.net/dmp/nwzx300/v1/en/contents/TP0001449021.html) and yep seems to be all I need. I usually just listen to full albums but for parties / gathering it's quite handy to create some playlists - seems like that...

Is that the case? Agree it's very odd. When you say model do you mean actual device or the Destination Code changeable using SonyNWDestTool? I'm guessing the latter as I've read in a few places that the devices themselves are no different wherever they're sold just the OS settings. I haven't...
