if i remember correct you have low-tier iems , so better put your money there as zx2 is already a totl dap
 
you will get a much bigger improvement in sonic enjoyment 

I've never been able to tolerate iems, unfortunately.

  I've never been able to tolerate iems, unfortunately.

Nor I, I can't even get them to stay in my ear. Headphones are my game.

  Yes, i have the ZX2, so at least i'm one of the fortunate one's & can still enjoy, for years to come. 
 
I'm already envious of the balanced connection, though & native DSD, e.t.c.

Those are great features to have on the new Walkman.  Be able to play DSD natively will bump up the sound quality 5-10%.  Balance output will also yield more power.  A 100 mw per channel is all I need.

I've always had the same problem.

I wonder if Sony are claiming anything unique, with the term, "One Sound Signature" ??

 

[Dithyrambes]

I am looking to buy a new sony but on the walls when to buy. If the sound isnt too different i would just get a zx2. It has to sound better than the chord mojo if im going to shell out nearly 2k though

Yes, DSD technology was originally Sony, and now they are out to do "DSD Correctly and Properly" with all new products for Audio Enthusiasts community. Especially the new Walkman.

Just as I mentioned above, Sony released turn table that can natively convert Vinyl into DSD, and they couldn't have made it fast enough to sell

Lesson from the pass...Do Not Compete Against Sony in Media Department when they take it seriously

1/ Microsoft Failed with UltraDVD
2/ Microsoft Failed with Xbox

Now, Sony is back at High-resolution Audio that can be stored Digitally, and enjoyed with High-res capable devices, and DSD as well

I am sorry to say this, but Mojo hardly measure up against Pha-3

 

[Gosod]

a very interesting thing!, I hope it will be loud enough!

 

[musicday]

Maybe Sony will get things right this time.Anybody has a clue about the power output of this portable music player?

 

[Whitigir]

Honestly, Sony had it done right with Zx2 and even Pha-3....they only limited and handicapped it in some instances ....and didn't market it well enough

 

[gerelmx1986]

hope they pak at least 150mW

 

[musicday]

hope they pak at least 150mW

At @32 ohm .

 

[ButtUglyJeff]

  hope they pak at least 150mW

 
All I want, is for it to be able to drive portable headphones.  But I guess if it could drive my Z7 balanced, I wouldn't complain....
