SONY NW-ZX2 DAP

haven't tried it, but its using the headphone out, so basically, there is no power.

you can use the digital cable to hook to dedicated amp, but not all amp.supports it.

 

the, it's a outdated unit, I personally think it sounds better than the zx300, but many people disagree with it.

 

Thanks. Can you play music without using the dated android on it?

 

zx2 runs on android, so it will have to use android.

 

Does the dated android affect playback or does it have a Sony own music player?

 

It does have a built in Sony player. But you may also download other players like Poweramp.

 

Hey guys. Just noticed when music not playing I get some white noise every 30 seconds or shorter. Does anyone know why/where that is coming from? It last about 2 seconds

 

I agree with this as well as long as it is an easy to drive CIEM or easy to drive headphones.

 

It comes from the amp section of the unit. The Class D circuit design causes that. It's very normal and nothing to worry about.

 

I'm selling my ZX2.
It sounds excellent but I need the power of the Mojo-HiBy stack to drive my full size headphones.

I've bought a pha-3 for very cheap. Is this dap a good partner for it?

 

Sony ZX2 4.4 balanced vs PHA 3 dual 3.5mm balanced ?

Which one sounds better to you guys?

 

Zx2 does not support balanced.

 

I wonder what you mean? Sony ZX2 comes with 4.4mm balanced output?

 

no it does not, only 3.5mm
