there's always the D100 if you need native DSD, thats why
Supposedly DSD is a superior format to PCM and the conversion could degrade the quality og the signal depending on how the conversion is done. I don't know the finer technical details on how and why
Just as a side thought....I wonder if the Sony Hi Res AV Receivers, convert to LPCM, or play pure DSD ? I'd been thinking about updating my Sony AVR.....I have a fairly large collection of SACD's.
Although, thinking about it, I may just upgrade to Sony's new HD video / Hi Res Audio player, announced at CES...
first serious attempt at review ... appreciate the support and comment!

Sony engineer confirmed it, it convert to PCM
Im concerned about thisinfo..
Ive been considering the ZX2 but not playing DSD natively brings me back to the drawing board..
Thats the best portable DSD playback Ive ever listened to.
Ive always been skeptical about DSD conversion, because Ive myself tried a lot of settings and a lot of converters on DSD to PCM, and the 96KHz always lost to the original DFF via blind test.
Until yesterday, that I was told the ZX2 converts to PCM.. so I dont care anymore if it plays natively or convert. It sounds so good! So involving, so detailed and it allows you change between SLOW and SHARP rolloff.
If DSD is your goal, like mine is, you cant go wrong with ZX2 if power is not an issue.
Thanks for the explanation. Can anyone tell the difference between this process & native DSD ??

Agreed, ZX2 is a very good DAP on sound quality alone, and then battery that last for days. I love my Zx2, and for as little power as it pouring out, I can still enjoy it with TH900 full size headphones sound
I bought my 2nd hand but i wouldn't mind paying for retail price, iam sold just on battery life alone, i charge the ZX2 every 2 weeks. As for the Note 4 i have 3 spare battery the Note 4 is a powerhouse i have no reason or desire to buy a new phone.
Exactly, I can't bother to keep something charged everyday...lol, and yeah the power is good enough for me. Bathe sound quality is awesome with TRRS and Siund adjustment app disabled
Do you know where I can get a good TRRS cable?
I am very excited, my zx2 is about to recieve a huge upgrade to the Rhapsodio Solar iem's.
I'll be sure to report back the improvements over mid tear iem's.
I think I'm about to hear what the ZX2 can really produce for the first time.
