Interesting, ZX300 has it.

Yep, it's a strange choice by Sony. Could have something to do with switching to USB-C and Wifi.

they stated that with streaming support they didn’t see any need for dac or receiver mode

Wondering how most folks use 1A/1Z as transport or DAC to home systems?
Do you use a docking station?
Thanks

purely as a stand alone player

These functions can still be useful. I can play games from my phone/computer and stream it to my ZX507 and and hear the audio from the headphone which is connected to my ZX507.

ZX507 runs Android, is it possible achieve these functions or something similar by third party apps ? Since there are countless Android apps avaible I guess there should be some solutions.

I use both as transports connect to TA-ZH1ES via the Sony dock.

There is only one dock, the other is just a stand

Aha. Then it will be a Xmas gift to myself.

It is very nice. I had one but only used it as a charging stand so a bit overkill so sold it and bought the stand instead.

Now I see why many 1Z people like 3.02 fw. With the most recent cable and replaced internal wires, mid to high are very neutral. Not too bright or harsh like before. Sibilent are mostly gone. Feel like I'm part of the band on stage. Surprisingly, 3.02 fw is actually sounds warmer than 3.01.

glad to hear. I am waiting for mine. hope it is legit like yours.

You won't regret it. I got my 1TB Extreme PRO Sandisk Micro SD card on black friday and It's working like a charm. Surprisingly fast to read. Between 20 and 30 seconds to load my 700GB database.

I may go with the stand.

Will Qobuz app run on this?

Thank you

Stand does not come with a cable so you would have to figure out how to get digital out to work. Your cable that came with the player only charges and supports DAC function.
