Can you get ldac onto a Sony Z3 phone, I recently updated to Lollipop 5.1.1 but don't think that included this...

You can't. Pretty sure it's a deliberate decision by Sony, as LDAC is a headline feature on their 2015 line of phones, tablets, DAPs and HT components.
Despite this, the Z3 is arguably still the best phone at the moment for music enthusiasts.
You may want to check or the Z3 thread on here that has a lot of good info.
Which Sony daps support ldac? Is it just the zx2? I already own the zx1, will ldac capability be added to it?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if the previous flagship dap - the zx1 will be enabled with ldac ability in an update? I'm interested in buying the 1abt for this feature but I don't want to buy another dap after just 1 year.
Thanks
Only those with later production than 2014 will have the "LDAC feature" as per "Sony" of now.

For the life of me, I now can't find anything that says that the 1ABTs actually HAS ClearAudio+ baked into it. I don't know where I'd seen it originally, but now nothing. I don't know if Sony had edited their Sony Store product page for it, but there's nothing there on it at all now about that. The UK Sony Store page for the 1ABTs doesn't mention it either. Ughh!
However, DSEE HX still IS listed as a feature, and no clear way to disable it is listed either. There is a chance that it only can be enabled if you have a Sony player controlling it, but I don't know. If that was the case, the description on their product page would say "Must have Sony player to activate". One factor to consider is that DSEE HX is ONLY enabled even on the A17 Walkman when the content being played is BELOW Hi-Res (which means the content is BELOW 24-bit/44.1kHz, or CD-Quality or lower). So when playing Hi-Res content, even if DSEE HX is on, it won't be used b/c it's not needed.
Never heard of Clear Audio+ for 1ABT, I think you're mistaken.
The headphone only have DSSE regular version, not the HX one. It is automatically turned on when you use Bluetooth connection except if player device sends LDAC signal.
