Thank your for the answer. The battery life sounds great... it seems, the ZX100 is mine in near future.

You should.  I have it on my ZX-2 and am very happy with the storage.  Transfer rate is slow however...only 10-12 mb/sec.  PNY turbo is much much faster.

I did a quick test at the Sony shop here in Singapore this evening.  Using my Shure SE846, after turning off all the enhancements, the comfortable volume is between 10-12.  This is about 25-34 (low gain) on my Fiio X3 Mk1 (latest firmware).  Sounds very good and neutral so far.  However, what surprised me was that it can't play my WMA Lossless files (don't judge me) that works fine on my Fiio.  I checked the specs on Sony's site and it seems that the it can't support it

. I have a moderate set of files ripped that way a few years back before I fully switched to using FLAC.  I'm a little reluctant to rip them all over again...
 
I really wanted to get the ZX100 since I find the ZX2 too expensive and too big a jump from my Fiio.  I guess I'll wait till end of the year to see if Sony will patch this.  I've already left a message with Sony Singapore's FB on this...  Sigh...

They won't but if you have dbPower amp you can convert WMA Lossless to FLAC
wink.gif
 (or XLD lossless decoder for mac) i think dbpower has a 30-day trial or so, i purchased it for 78 USD os worth the asking price, it converst from a myriad of formats including APE, WMAL, WMA Lossy, mp3, ogg flac alac etc

Wait, if you have no wi-fi then the only way to upgrade the software is a cable and a computer ? How is the output quality ?

yep a cable like the A10 and older walkmen, output quality i still don't order it, damn savings take a week to dispatch my money

i'm on the process of moving FLACs from A17's internal memory to the microSD, which then i will copy/paste to the internal 128GB of the ZX100. My plan: sell the A17 +128GB card
