Anyone here knows Japanese language to summarize what they mention in the video?

Sorry for off-topic but curious as to your favourite IEM?

Been listening all afternoon (whilst reading this thread) to Amazon Music HD on my stock Sony IER-Z1R's and I honestly couldn't be happier.

Have always thought IER-Z1R need a powerful amp which the ZX507 may not be capable of. Great that you enjoyed your upgraded ZX507 even more now!

I'm well aware of the existance of surround recordings for music, I have a 5.1 home theather at home and I do have 2 or 3 Blu-rays for live performances and I even seen some atmos recording and replay tests but in the context of the ZX507 and often IEMs or stereo headphones, I don't get it and don't care really. Would someone have to get some often gimmicky "surround" sound heaphones on compatible devices to try to get any sense of what a proper surround sound setup sounds like? I'd rather have Sony invest time in anything else really than give me the "ability" to get any sort of "surround" anything...

Hopefully Sony does not listen to you.

hi all, I can't read all 240 pages but can anyone tell me if this player browses a large library of over 50,000 songs smoothly?, I have been struggling with my NW-A105 with the library being very slow to open next pages, yet previous model NW-A55 was very smooth with this large library, is the ZX500 also slow with a large library?, see my video to understand what I'm talking about:

Alot will come down to the type of SD card you have. I had a cheapo one that took farken rediculous to load. Upgraded to a top notch card and no issues at all. In regards to internal memory, would 50 000 entries fit on 64gb?

Have you applied the tweaks in my signature? Google app is a resource hog and it would be best to have it disabled, along with other tweaks like force GPU rendering, should help to improve interface lag.

ZX507 and A105 share the same CPU and Android firmware so they would perform the same.

I don't think so

I'll try that, thanks

Do let us know if the tweaks help to improve 50000 songs scrolling.

UPDATE:
unfortunately after doing all your instructions its still slow browsing even after rebuilding the library as well

Have you used the Sony walkman android OS to clean format the sdcard before transferring music into the sdcard?

This is to avoid access speed issues with difference in sdcard cluster size and exfat/fat32/ntfs
