To those wondering whether or not Sony is about to showcase new Walkmen at this year's IFA, the answer is yes. Sony will announce the third generation of the well known A-Series and also the WM1-series, which I feel very excited about.
 
I personally doubt that the WM-1 will be the successor to the ZX2, though. I'm afraid that Sony is not planning on developing high-end DAPs anytime soon.

Just guessing, but if Sony were to announce a successor to their current flagship DAP, the ZX2, than they would probably name it ZX3. Instead, they come up with a new product that will somehow rival the A-Series or the ZX100. Give it a new name and everybody will be completely confused.

Need to know what gives him that impression to know how to adjust

It's been 2 years since the ZX2 was announced. So far there has not been a single hint that Sony will replace this DAP with a new flagship model. I'm guessing that the WM1 will be part of the W-series family (W, WH, WS), meaning that it will be a headphone based DAP. Such a device is very unlikely to beat the ZX2 in terms of sound quality.
 
I'd like you and Sony to prove me wrong!

I don't think the ZX2 is capable of using as an external USB DAC. Only the AK can i believe

 
I wish ZX2 could because I love how my AK380 works with my 2016 MacBook.
 

The Sony BCR-NWH10 Docking Station works very well for connecting the ZX2 to either a DAC or Computer and allows charging at the same time. I'm using one at the moment as I type.
I also use an NWH10 cable, but prefer the dock.
Bit of a pain that I had to direct import both from Japan though. What is Sony playing at?

 

yeah, it's brilliant. 
 

 
I wish there was a way to swap OS to ZX100 version. I hate the Android OS. 
 
I can't imagine volume capped version because my U.S. unit is already low volume enough when using beyer T1 600 Ohms headphones.

Many people dis-like Android OS . I would love to see a Walkman OS version of flagship devices coming from Sony. May be then I can keep Zx2 as an Android OS device and buy another one that runs Walkman OS

 

[Stuff Jones]

I rarely interact with the OS, only the player. Would the Sony OS change the interface with the player itself?

It would, but Walkman OS had always been the easiest and friendliest for devices . Beside, it was made for music and efficiency.......aka....no music deforming or degrading and not running background trash that drain away the battery life

OK if it is more battery efficient I'm on board. Walkman OS. Smaller size. Same battery life. Same sound.
