Hmmmm.  I'm also unfamiliar with this term.  What is a digital sound?

Digital like sound is actually Snappy, fast decay with thinner tonality or less density. Usually it is not very enjoyable in my preferences, because thinner body and faster decay usually lose out the micro energies within the timbres itself. The Opus 2 actually also deliver the micro energies within the timbres body. It is very enjoyable. Density and more analog feeling usually lose out the trebles extensions and the lower trebles speed and resolutions (case of Zx2). There are some tricks to make it better. But the real improvements will need to be looking toward WM series.

Wm1z has great lower trebles resolutions and speed, more extensions overall, warmth, very analog like with longer decay and timbres. Bass is much more textured and emotional vs Zx2. Take Zx2 performances, and imagine more lower trebles resolutions and upper mid extensions, more warmth into the trebles and it extensions. Deeper bass and more Dynamic ....while you are at it, Deeper soundstage and more spherical images.

Finally, the best S-Master technology that Sony has achieved for personal and portable system yet, the TA-ZH1ES amplifier

I am giving out too much spoiler lol..

along with the new players I was able to listen to this old player Zx2, it has a good sound but he doesn't like headphones Xba z5 and Earsonics sm64.

zx2 pairs amazingly with more neutral/reference (c)iems , too warm sounding ciems will not be the best pairing

if i get wm1a , i may keep both as my EE athena pairs well with the lean, sabre-dac dx80 but not so well with the zx2 
 
zx2 + nt6 = beast synergy

Could you explain with more details why you say that zx2 do not like xba-z5?
I have EU zx2 and planing to buy xba-z5, based on very positive feedback in the dedicated threat here, which mach what I'm looking for in IEM. Currently still reading the threat.

Has anyone ever used this with their ZX2 or Sony Walkman and if so what are your impressions? https://www.amazon.com/SOD-R-Walkman-2-Male-Cable-3-28ft/dp/B01N3O7E2U/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483576677&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=sony+walkman+audio+line+out

Guys,

I need some advice on pairing the ZX2 with XBA Z5, will the Z5 be fueled enough or will it require an amp?
 
I am planning to buy a DAP to go with my Z5.
