Quick question I listened to a japan export ZX100 recently it was so bright sounding my ears were hurting me ...if I compare it to the euro unit I sold t was a lot warmer and sounded better to my ears ....Why the difference in sound how come it was so bright


maybe your IEMs or headphones, or perhaps all the audio gimmicks were turned ON you know DSEE, ClearAudio etc
 
BTW have mine back on sale is non euro, non japapnese (still ahs english menua nd no cap)

I checked everything and turned Al the sound processing off ...I had a ZX100 for almost a year so I am familiar with all the menus ...it was so bright I use the same IEMS on my ZX2 and its a lot warmer

MY ZX100 is UP FOR SALE AGAIN
 
option A) you can buy it right now and use DHL 3 day shipping (europeans must pay import tax)
B) I will be travelling to Germany in december (dec 02- jan 02 2017) i can ship via standard deutsche post with no cost to europeans and everyone else!
 
you opt to wait like almost 2 and a half months? or you get it via DHL express

that's a bit hard to do, buying items without trying them 1st.. i will try the unit 1st then i will buy if i like it. and i like the A3 + ZX100 :cool:
im also a bit classic guy, 70's 80's 90's and some new/modern songs.
but i do more prefer the classic 70-80's , Abba, El Debarge , Air Supply , America , Queen , Scorpions, Eagles , Carpenters and much more


I am into to hard rock, metal, indie, experimental dance, some contemporary classical and even some video game music

n Wish it had touch screen like the X-series in 2009 or at least touch buttons
I have used my x1050 since 2009 until this year July, yes, touch screen is nice to play with, But it ain't essential, I rather have physical buttons only than only touch screen, no tactile feedback or precision

At first I thought zx100 without touch screen would a bother, but it hasn't,

it is a pity that I did not have the chance to listen to it, but I wonder how loud sounds the Japanese version?
big difference?

wow less than 10k a year? 40 hr weeks? Can you make more in Germany doing the same work there? How is rent in Mexico? In Hong Kong 500 sq ft apartment cost $1200 and the place has nothing no pool no gym no nothing.


Depends what area of Hong Kong, if you want to be Hong Kong island, for usd1,200(hkd9800), you will only get 35sq ft shoe box, it can be quite bad for apartment size, but its not that bad in new territories

So far I'm not using a MicroSD, this is more to do with internal memory.

After reading up a lot on forums, I've tried resizing the album art on my music (previously, it was a huge 1200x1200 or more and now I've reduced that to 500x500. This seems to partially solve the issue and the navigation is much faster. There is still an occasional freeze but not the hangs and restarts that I was facing earlier.

It seems to be ridiculous but this may just be the issue. I will update once I've resized all the album arts and loaded back onto the player.


i use Sony media go, the artwork is very small and low resolution, does it automatically when you convert from CD, no issues
