I recently bought the zx300 to pair with dethonray sg1, I would say this set up sound way better than using the phone alone, the sound is more dynamic, better soundstage, the bass is more crisp, which is a big wow in my opinion, as I though the sg1 is fantastic when paired with my phone.
The zx300 is priced very reasonable, especially for second hand, it's smooth operating experience and non android system, which are all the driving motivation to try out this set up.
As per one of the previous mentioned about the Sennheiser bt dongle, I just bought one online and I can't wait to give it a try, let's see how it compares with zx300.
And The iem in the photo is the shozy phantom with upgrade cable, which is my go to set up recently as it works wonder with the sg1.

Could you talk a little bit more about why you like Phantom with SG1? I'm considering getting B2 Phantom myself.

Do you use the zx300 and your phone with the same BT codec? Then there should be practically no difference between them as source for the SG1?

The case on your SG1 looks gorgeous, which case is it?

I was using ldac codec for both mobile phone and zx300, the weird point i can tell the difference when using different sources to connect with sg1, especially when I use different frimware on zx300, the firmware is more or less the tuning, but the zx300 is definitely way better as a source when compare to my Android phone, I couldn't tell the reason for the superior result, is it the hardware or is it the fact that zx300 is running Sony's OS which allows for better result?
But the zx300 is a reasonable purchase, $160 only for second hand at mint condition.
M y next plan to get wmport to USB type c, I want to connect it to the dethonray h1, it should be interesting.

My one is the same as all the other guys who have them in this thread, we get them through contacting Anson.
But I was being silly and request a small opening instead of a large opening despite large opening has the advantage of better bt connection.

Technically there shouldn’t be a difference. Because the source only sends data. And whatever source you use, if it uses the same BT codec, it should send the exact same data to the SG1 (BT chips are standardized and certified)! The „sound“ (well, analog signal that then is given out by your headphones) gets produced by the SG1‘s DAC chip and Amp/Output- section in both cases, so it should be the same!
If there really is a difference it’s hard to explain. Could be a setting of your phone, streaming app or some kind of downsampling etc. ?

Did you experience a worse reception because of that?

How do you contact Anson about getting a case? I've tried all of the email contacts in this thread and on the Dethonray web site and have never gotten a reply back.

service@dethonray.com should work!
The other ones on the website don’t! Had the same experience!

No major difference during normal usage. I wish to know is well, I was playing the same song, same bt codec, the only difference is the player.
I was wondering whether it's the problem with the operating system.
Honestly, I am no expert in this matter, all I am doing is to spread my finding and allows owner of zx300 or wm1 to give it a try.
