Hi guys, I'm pretty new to hi fidelity music, and I'm looking for a hi-res DAP ,but can't decide between these two - FiiO X7 or Sony NWZ-ZX2 . I know I'm comparing a $700 to a $1200 player, but still both are highly praised respective flagships. My main question is, is the extra money worth it for the ZX2?  Thanks.

I'm in exactly the same boat and would love to hear opinions on this....

I have both.
 
Both sound incredible. Fiio x7 user interface is an updated
Android UI.
Very sleek.
 
The sound is very good clean and clear.
That said it lacks the overall bass/wow that
the ZX2 has.
 
I will be  returning the x7

Without question yes! You can get as low as 900 for Japanese version.
Unit is identical to the US unit.
 
Its the best unit I own.

I was able to buy a like new condition ZX2 at a great price and am extremely happy with it. It truly sounds amazing paired with my PM 3s.

Ok but does buying the Japanese version cover warranty support outside that region?

Nope, only drawback...
