Does that mean a ZX200 is on it's way replacing the ZX2?

It would be reasonable to assume so, and I do expect this to be the case when the ZX2 is eventually replaced, but I don't expect anything before next year

My theory of this of ZX2 and zx 1 is that sony maybe found that android OS, don't knw what to be exact, did interfere withthe sound quality?
 
and they now experiemnt with ZX100 using a *less* demanding OS and cutting down on featureslike WIFI

Does anyone know where this will be available in the US. This does not appear to be listed in the US sony.com website.

I wonder why Sony just don't try to crack the US market.  I believe they have more success in Europe even.

Sony shall do their walkman USB 3.0 compatible

Some one who has owned ZX1 or ZX2 how does those render 16/44.1 music? 98% of my lib is CD (16/44 or 16/48) FLAC and 2% is Hi-res FLAC (do far 24/from 44 to 192KHz)
 
My A17 renders both types very good but 24 sounds heavenly, so share your experiences

the brief comparison between zx100 and zx2 offered a couple of pages back was based on 16/44.1 ... already sold the zx1, can't comment on that

Just wanted to confirm, you are E1-AKG from LYN right? Of course, if none of those alphabets make sense, I've got the wrong person

I sold my ZX1 to upgrade to the ZX2, and try to use 24/96 files wherever possible, but you know it can be hard to find, especially for newer music I did not regret making the jump at all, even more so when I went with a TRRS terminated cable. The simple fact is a better quality recording will give you more, but I did spend some time with my ZX1 comparing the same files, via the same IEM before it sold, I was convinced it sounded better on the ZX2 (which had about 110 hours on it at the time).

I'm not Tyll, so I won't be able to go into as much detail, but I do know what I heard Never owned any other Walkman though, so can't help with comparing your A17
