YOu do realize that an SD card != memory chips on a motherboard or in an SSD, right? I can get a 256GB SD card - what is your point? More internal memory is better AND preferred.

I do agree that the 1Z is noticeably heavier as I pointed out, so for some it will be a dealbreaker.

My point is that memory is superdupercheap these days (and getting cheaper by the minute), so, yeah, for me it won't go a very long way in explaining a difference of almost 2000 bucks.

My unit has a slot, I pop in a 256 GB card, end of story. My music collection is huge and always growing; I'll never be able to fit everything into a portable device (well, not for some time, at least), and I'll always update and swap files, it's actually part of the fun for me. Sure, more internal memory is preferable, but to which price?

  Like with the ZX1, I have never really found out why the cover artwork of any ripped CDs won’t be displayed.

 
Depends on what program you use to rip CDs.
If you use Media Go, it will most certainly work - the program will even fetch covers automatically. If it doesn't find one just grab one and drop it in.

I use dbpowerAmp for accuRip and bit-perfect rips to flac

It's not the size of the bits, it's how you play them ...

what's the problem?  I've obtained mp3s and aac files legally that are from a better master than the CD version. In fact with things like Mastered for iTunes the lossy compressed version are sometimes better than the lossless CD version because there is less dynamic compression and less clipping for the digital downloads than the master for the CD as they actually have a stricter guideline for master submission. 
 
The file format isn't the problem - it's what you get inside it that counts. Given a choice between an mp3 that is from a master that is mixed correctly or a CD that's mixed hot and dynamically compressed, I'll take the mp3 in a heart beat rather than the lossless version.

I have got NW-WM1A and Westone W80 today. Listening to them through TRRS single ended Moon audio Black Dragon IEM cable. I have ZX2 and Westone W60 to compare.
And waiting for Kumitate Labs 4.4mm 5pole Balanced Silver Plated OFC Licht cable. Lots of comparisons to do.

 

[TokenGesture]

Will these accept a 200gb Micro SD card?

I'd like to see a photo or two of Kumitate Lab's Licht cable with the new 4.4mm plug.
Are you getting the right-angle one or straight plug? They offered the straight plug in the beginning, but I noticed that they had removed it from the options. Thanks...

It takes up to 256gb
