Meanwhile, back on this current generation of DAPs (which this thread is actually about), we've already had how many firmware updates so far? 2? 3?

Does it support dsd and other hi res files?

I just tested a few of the "unknown" album problems i was having and mediago has definitely helped so far.. didn't realize it had a database that autotags, only bad part it I have to painstakingly go to each individual song, right click, properties then click the database button. I did get the correct album, artists and track names/numbers to function properly in the dap for the few albums I have tried so far in mediago, but STILL the album art is not working for those and they have the exact same resolution and format and in the same folder locations and file locations as all the other albums that do work.. same scheme of everything so I don't know why the art doesn't show up. Actually at this point I actually think it's more of a problem with sonys dap software to be honest. As every music playing software on all my computers are pulling up the album art and everything else properly too for these.

DSD don't know but hires flac yes

WARNING ABOUT SONY. I spent $1200 on the Sony Walkman NW-ZX2 when it came out in early 2015. It came with Android 4.2.2 and is still running 4.2.2. I have contacted Sony several times through many channels about upgrading the version of Android that the device is running but Sony absolutely refuses to upgrade Android on their own Walkman device. It's not like they don't have the knowledge; Sony has Android phones and tablets which they do update. They've just decided that those of us who spent the $1200 on the NW-ZX2 aren't worth the trouble. As Android advances and apps are adapted to the new versions of Android, app comparability is starting to become a problem. Get this: Sony's own Android app "Sony Music Center", which replaced Song Pal - which is no longer available - will not install on Android 4.2.2 showing error message " Your device isn't compatible with this version". It's Sony's own hardware and software! This new Walkman NW-WM1Z does not run on Android. It runs on proprietary software. That will limit your audio source choices and you still have no guarantee at all if you're going to get any firmware or software. Stay away from Sony's audio devices. They'll burn you. It's not worth it especially considering that the NW-WM1Z costs $3200. There are other brands and devices out there. You don't need Sony. Look elsewhere. 

I care for sound, for Android I have my Xperia

  Well - my "Z" arrived from you know where.  Ordered Monday, shipped Tuesday, received Wednesday (UK > USA) - WOW
 
Here is something interesting - it came with the volume cap already deactivated!  Strange.  I went through the process anyway and changed the region to enable high gain and remote control.
 
Which region are people using?  I set it to region E (6) - this allowed both high gain and remote control

This happened to me as well, I posted up pictures.

As long as my WM-1Z playback FLAC, WAV, AAC and AIFF
and Sony already roll out a FW to improve its stability

I don't care much on your "limit your audio source choices" problem

new 1A and 1Z runs on Sony custom OS, not any version of Android. 
 
ZX2 is not a phone, it was designed to playback hi-res music from its internal storage and it does an excellent job at it. There is no need to update to newer version of Android.

We don't need your advice. Go somewhere else.

 

[gerelmx1986]

We are old-schoolers or in between new tech and old school (carrying a part of our stand-alone music library like i do), I am sure there are albums (because my genre) that are not available on spotify and co. yet , specially obscure labels that no longer exist. FLAC FTW
 
Not always new tech is mainstream or In...

 

[Virtu Fortuna]

I don't think ZX2 would've run good with higher versions of Android anyway. So that argument seems invalid. When Hi-Fi comes into play, I don't care about update or other stuff.

 

[Toolman]

Not even Bluetooth tbh

 

[gerelmx1986]

He posted the same **** on three forus, this one, the FFICIAL WM1A WMIZA IFA and the ZX2 threas What?

That heartbroken kid has posted the same thing on different Sony forums, true ipod lover lol

maybe he is an ipod dealer, trying to save his business.

 

[gerelmx1986]

in a nutshell he is crying out loud I WANT STREAMERS, Ok dude if you want Android, get a phone, slap a portable amp to it and you´re done  

 

[nanaholic]

I want Bluetooth because BT remote is convenient, LDAC is really good and the power is low enough that it doesn't really cause interference unlike WiFi anyway so it doesn't hurt to have it.
