Which is not surprising. Even people who are not audiophiles and even people with damaged hearing (like my girlfriend) can hear the difference between an ZX500 and an WM1A. And you sold an WM1ZM2 for an A300 because you don't hear an difference.
People are able to hear the difference in blind Tests, so it is there without any doubt. So it is you who is not being able to hear that so maybe you should not give an advice about which device sounds different if you can't hear the difference.
There are more than enough people who upgraded from the ZX2 to the ZX500 and complained that it sounds worse. The ZX700 is the first non-WM1 DAP from Sony that was able to beat the ZX2 in all areas, but only on 4.4mm
So using 3.5mm there still is no upgrade to the ZX2 except the WM1.
Have you ever tried A306? You should check back previous pages. Most of us buying A306 because it sounds better than the previous models in certain ways. I wont buy a new dap just because I can't tell the difference. I find the SQ of A306 is better than ZX300, ZX505, and as good as ZX707 but I like the A306 tuning more, and it has better output power than wm1a in 3.5.
If you are the only one can tell the difference, I suggest that you should keep your ZX2.
