LOL just kidding hahaha to see if a buyer pops out faster 

Just drop price to sell fast, better than destroying it?

Like any Sony products, prices tend to drop further when new models are released, so better sell fast. A rough guide on a more active market with clear price transparency:

Everything tech related will have price fall fast. Especially those that rely on 3rd party "off the shelves main component, such as AK, Onkyo...etc...etc". Because 3rd party also moves fast as well. For all that said, good luck with sale

Walkman down size is because it is not powerful enough, so people lean toward newer and more powerful stuff. The new Walkman is going to change that somewhat

Damn
I have the same issue with crashing the device after connecting BT with my new 1000x as before with my ABT...
Sometimes, the 100 reboots or crashes or doing something "other things" while connecting via BT (normal pairing or via NFC).

Mine does this too

I auditioned a few times the ZX100 at Narita airport this year using my ex1000, and I have to say I have been impressed with its sound based on the three songs available from the sample player. I would probably have bought one if I am not satisfied with what I have or the ZX build looks more high ended. 
 
The ZX definitely sounds MUCH better than LPG to my ears. LPG was tuned to "impress" you with overly boosted sub bass but failed regardless of price.

I have both the ZX100 and the LPG. LPG is "tuned to "impress" you with overly boosted sub bass"? Seriously? If you were auditioning the LPG with the ex1000, I am surprised that you found its sub bass overly boosted....

I hate my ears which don't agree with others', but seriously I am not surprised. Another perfect example of YMMV, so we are good.

why not use a pc with sony's media go software and convert those cds to much better quality flac files ( probably use around 20gb) and listen the the difference, all your current mp3 ( which is lossy and sounds not so great at all) drag them to your sd card,
 
once you hear the difference. 
 
it's also noted that the nw-zx100 is on another league ipods, it's like watching sd films on vcd or vcr and watching bluray equivalent  and you will be amazed on the sound quality that's the difference, ipods simply sound like sony's budget entry level  b series which only cost USD70/HK$450/gbp40

which one you prefer or A17 zx100?

 

[imparanoic]

I have only heard nwz-a17 very briefly , seems to as good as nwz-x1000 or nw-f886 , but no where near nw-zx1 or nw-zx100

I have the same opinion.
but A17 is a more compact version.

A good deal. A authorised dealer. Think they sent globally:

SGD 599 = USD 430, yet with free noise cancelling earphone worth more than USD 100 and hires music download card.

Could this mean they're clearing the player for a successor? Hmm, one can hope

HK pricing for official set (non-grey set) is also around US$430 but with the free original leather (CKL-NWZX100) case worth around US$100.

Resale price for ZX100 will drop below US$300 with this trend.

Sony is probably preparing for all the new DAP to be made available soon in this 1-2 weeks.
