I think it's china only.

I use the 7550s and I have yet to encounter a track where I needed to exceed what looks to my eye like the 45% mark on the volume slider.
On top of that, I've long been a proponent of non-destructively altering the volume of my music. Basically, back-in-the-day, when I was using DAPs without dedicated volume controls, I got sick and tired of constantly blowing out my ears, or futzing with the UI to increase/decrease volume. So I began using mp3Gain to normalize all of my tracks to around 94dB. I've continued that tradition by using ReplayGain on my FLACs. Consequently, I'm probably turning up the volume slider a bit more than most people, as very few tracks/albums clock in at such a low gain.
How do you safely remove the SD card without turning the ZX2 off?
More SQ impressions, please!
Is it true that you need to disable Sound Enhancements each time you reboot? The disabled setting is not retained?
Yes, just make sure you Re-enable it before reboot, so you have the ability to Disable it again!
Also I am listening to "leavin-freekwen z" 98/192 vs a high def version in YouTube 320kbp MP3 I guess....if somebody can't clearly hear the differences here, they are either deaf or have no clues
Basically what differences here were the extensions and the instruments resonances....i say extensions here not as the meaning of a decay respond from the earphones drivers ....but rather it is the vibrations power of the drums....like when you hit it once, the power will extend from strongest....gradually weakened....and you will hear the resonances inside the housing with it too. Now if you don't know what I am talking about, go to "Toy R Us" and demo a toy drum
And the impact power of the drums beats are lower as well over all....I will soon in the future do some more testing between formats....but now I am back into my enjoyments of how ZX2 is changing while burning in
Yes, but is that a difference in mastering (most likely) or actual resolution difference? That's the thing a lot of people mix up. Hi-res versions are a lot of the time from different masters than the redbook version. So then of course it sounds different
Also, it looks like china has a limited edition version package, comes with a screen protector, 64GB micro sd and a flip cover.
I don't get the sound enhancement. Unless I check mine, it is always unchecked. When I check Dynamic Normalizer the sound is louder.
Using an external amp with the IC I made. Nice.
Yes, that is the reason why I said I would test it futher as I have all the tools to down convert the same file later. I will also ABX testing as well. One thing I am almost sure is 320kps vs 16/44.1 cd quality has distinctive differences.
I am not too sure about 16/44.1 vs high resolutions though....but most likely the differences will be in the same places, maybe more blurry, but probably similar....
Now I am back to enjoying my ZX2
