I wonder if A30 will sound better than the ZX100.

Gotta.

 

[fish1050]

Gotta.

I wouldn't say it is a given, I would say close but not better as Sony is using some lower end parts on the A30 than were used on the ZX100.

Yes, and also the casing. Which on the ZX100 is deisgned to provide minimal interference. Not so on the A30.

NW-A30 uses THE SAME OS as WM1 series o WHILE READING THE GUIDE FOR WM1A found these INTERESTING THINGS of the NEW OS
 
I've read the Guide, my eyes devoured it
 
SONY FINALLY LISTENED TO ALL OF OUR REQUESTS *
 
A) you can manage playlists in the walkman Now!!!!!, not just bookmarks
B) You can delete songs, or folders or albums from the walkman now too
C) the EQ looks like kind like parametric
D)you can customize the library screen and hide ítems you don't like f.e (hiding composers view or sensme channels view)
E) in the WM1Z the available space is 230.60GB (my Sammy is 238.60GB) why it is eating so much space? in contrast WM1A is 114.15GB not that much decrease from ZX100
F)during USB connection to pc YOU CAN NOW SELECT  DATA TRANSFER & CHARGE (you cannot use the walkman)/ CHARGE ONLY from PC and being able to USE THE WALKMAN
G) Brightness levels has been increased in steps number 0-100 VS 1-5 in ZX100
H) to prevent LOUD volume-surprises when connecting to balanced 4.4mm the walkman will automatically lower the volume
I) it has Keyboard (to search your library)
J) screen will remain off now and to turn it on during playback you must press the power button once (like xperia cellphones)

According to the NW-A30's product page on Sony Malaysia, the retail price will be set to RM899.(Around 215usd)
I think that's the cheapest price compared to prices in other countries.

Well the Taiwan Sony Site is selling the A35 for NT$6,490 which translate to about US$204 so that beats your Malaysian price by $10

Gosh so I can't combine a couple hundred songs into one massive song over 4 GB in size and play it, sounds like a deal breaker to me. 

Do you actually have file sizes larger than 4 GB?

No direct mode, meaning no USB OTG w/ the WM1 cable?

No, direct mode in the WM1 series means NO DSPs (no EQ, no DSEE, no audio+ etc)

This makes it hard to choose between a step up in SQ to the ZX100 or the improved functions/features of the A30. 
I would benefit greatly from the side buttons, playlist feature and screen off.
