Well thats exactly it. The cost of a TA-ZH1ES and NW-WM1A together cost a little over half what a DMP-Z1 costs, but the WM1A/Z wont sound as nice as the DMP-Z1 costs. Plus i ran out of storage space and cant find a micro sdcard big enough.

So basically, if I could do it over, yeah for me it would be worth it because I would have what i presume is TA-ZH1ES like sound in a portable form factor with the storage capability I need. its a win win. By the way, the DMP-Z1 is a portable source so i think you put the thread in the wrong forum.
Did you see this? https://www.pny.com/512GB-PNY-Elite-microSDXC-Card-CL-10-90MB/s-with-Adapter

Hopefully Sandisk will be releasing their version soon.

Also why did Sony go with microSD slots instead of full sized SD slots. Then you could have had 2 TB of SD to allow for lot's of hi-res once Sandisk ships the 1 TB card..

I was really hoping that the new TOTL DAP would be a tweaked WM1z, but in a size of a ZX300.

i really hope sony's new 'vinyl' sound engine is much better than what you can find on the interwebz when every moron with a turntable decides to rip their junk into 24/96 "hires" files that are absolutely unbearable. digital "vinyl" is death to ears.

Well we don’t know since there is no new dap yet. Probably next year

That is the one reason I do not like vinyl at all and do not own a turntable. I absolutely hated that clicky, static BS when I used to use records.
Agree music should sound clean

I have the Sandisk microSD 400 GB. I just bought because it was the only option, but it's SO SLOW to transfer... It's like a nightmare. I think it takes 5 to 8 hours to fill all.
This PNY microSD is the same, extremely slow. It will take even more time to transfer and fill all the card, unfortunately.

Lexar released one microSD 512 GB a bit faster, but I can't find anywhere to buy yet. Here there is more information: http://www.thessdreview.com/compute...test-sd-cf-cards-computex-2018-taipei-update/

They say it can reach 70 mb/s of transfer speed. Reasonable and near the Samsung microsSD 256 GB EVO Plus that I have.

I have the Sandisk microSD 400 GB but I copy all the content to it via a USB3 card reader. Otherwise at USB2 speeds it's way slow.

It looks like Lexar showed it at that show but it's not shipping yet.
