You can sync with itunes library! I read it somewhere, but can not confirm Until I have my Z with me.

Can you let us know when you have your Z? it would be nice if sony's walkman plays well with itunes

Won't syncing with iTunes result in a mess?
 
My iTunes is full of ALAC and AIFF. Will be a chore to add mp3/m4a copies of the same tracks into my iTunes just for the sake of syncing.
 
And no, Sony DAP won't sync with iTunes on a Mac.
 
Windows, perhaps. Not sure what is needed for it to work though.

My iTunes is primarily AAC (maybe 10% protected) & some MP3. And I'm on a Mac platform.

Since the Z1070 is Android, I wonder if MarkSpace's MissingSync will work since it supports Android & iTunes(etc) syncing.

I'd be damned if I had to copy and convert my entire library to ATRAC or something.

P.S. yeah uel, U're outta luck with ALAC .
P.P.S. Forgot to add, although you guys may be eyeing for the noise cancellation feature, I think I actually prefer it off in my tests today.

Why you preferred it off?

I never knew that 'JEITA 16Ω/mW' means output impedance. What a weird term for it.
 
NwAvGuy has got a great explanation for headphone impedance. He touches a little bit on output impedance as well. Worth taking a look.
 
What from I know is that if the output impedance is high, low impedance headphone will sound lean on bass and the overall SQ will falls quite significantly - you won't be able to get the clean and smooth sound.

thanks so much! that was very informative, but i suspected all along, earphones with a lower impedance will sound different with the walkman z since it has higher impedance of 16... but seriously if anyone can recommend the most compatible earphones with sony walkman i would really appreciate it... i thought the xba balanced armature would sound better with with walkman z but in fact it sounded worse than the xb dynamic, i suspected it was due to the impedance difference...

Looking forward to reading your review.

Let me get this straight - I'm somewhat confused. The Walkman Z does have a line-out to use with portable amps, correct?
 
2) What is the DAC in this player?
 
3) Is wifi seamless and quick on this player?

You can sync both iTunes & WMP via Sony's free Media-Go (free download, also gives acces to Sony's music store.
 
was an absolute doddle sync'ing music from iTunes to my A-Series (nice player but I sent it back because of UK volume cap and imminent arrival of Z-Series after a month of trial use lol.. ty Amazon)

ok my home audio system is Arcam FMJ based with Monitor Audio GS10 speakers with Chord Interconnects... it is purely a CD based system which is bi-amp'ed & bi-wired.
 
Now that I'm getting into this 'streaming' malarkey I need to know of a good static DAC that will compliment the Sony Z-Series (I'm actually excited about getting one when they're released), I was thinking Musical Fidelity, Leema or Rega DAC's (or a Chord QBD which will make my pockets sob)... also which is best way to go wired or wireless ?
 
any advice would be welcomed & appreciated... think of me as a complete idiot with an appreciation of good sounding tunes

Can I use that in my signature? I think that's a great description!
