Touch and hold the seek bar first - the bar will brighten and thicken slightly if you hit it - then slide. Works 100% of the time even on the smaller screen devices like the A series.

OMG, that's IT!!!!! This is my first Sony DAP, I feel like such a noob, even so I have reviewed so many other DAPs.

Still, wish Sony would improve GUI and widen the touch area for fast forwarding through the song, When I want to scrub through the song by moving that touch bar forward, half of the time I end up swiping between the screens

For. Me it works it is sensitive and I can scroll to whenever I go, yes I tried @nanaholic tip and is better as he says. Nonetheless Sony UI is way better than most Chinese offerings out there ahem hidizs, fiio, aún and others

Sound quality as we al here know Sony SQ is closest to real live experience

No need to be too hard on yourself. For electronics I find that a lot of tiny details of the UI only shows up under long term usage.

So far I have not had any luck finding IEM or headphone which brings good synergy with 1Z.
I tried A18, Z1R, JH Pro13 and other pieces...I am not having much luck especially on bass compartment.
It was shocking to note MDR Z1R sounded much more fluid on old sony dap x-1061. Z1 seems to have so much
potential but how do actually claim it?

1z SE with old firmware 1.2 sound like 90% of Nwz x1061
in some songs it sounded
almost the same with se5ult
I was disappointed ...
Now with 2.0 it's a different signature and I'm delighted

wm1a + NT6 on the 2.0 FW is lean like a playboy model

this little CIEM never ceases to amaze me at how good it sounds and how well it adapts to any dap i pair it with

remarkably transparent ciem , lovely just lovely

I am with my wm1z and layla I (with labkable pandora cable). I am extremely satisfied with the performance right now (using the 2.0 firmware) and I am glad I can adjust the bass of my layla to balance the bass problem of the new 2.0 soundstage.

I’m very happy with the 1Z both with JH13 and Z1R. Both balanced, the JH13 with SuperBax and Z1R with Kimber Axios 16 core copper

Same happy owner of 1Z and Utopia. May be this FW was using 1Z as the marking stone

The 1Z in it current state....is a Young Milky Cow. You don’t discard your Milky Cow this early

Yeah, I meant when it is discontinued just like Zx2, the 1Z will be a collector item. Sony usually does this when new Flagship players are rolled out . But at this time, we will more than likely seeing many used 1Z as people who don’t intent to collect it, want to get back some money for the next Flagship

It’s very hard to sell when a new flagship Dap is out. People want the latest. But with Sony they start from scratch. I’d like to see an upgrade from the Sony ZX2 to ZX3 as it’s good to have an Android to download apps. The fact is the SQ is not guaranteed from when you first buy it as firmware updates change SQ.
