  Isn't it possible to unlock volume cap via software?

That can only be done on the newer models WM1A and WM1Z..ZX2 is android based so a no go unfortunately.

Thanks therefore I have to look that it's not a eu-version I'm buying

If you disable the sound enhancement app on the zx2,you will also get a bump in the performance in terms of volume...

I'm still in the burn in process of my WM1A as I only got it recently and still gotta get a 4.4 cable too

So will report back at a later date. Early impressions are positive though. Off to list my ZX2 in the classifieds

Thinking of picking up a ZX2. I have Sennheiser HD700 just as in your picture. How does it pair with the ZX2?
 
Thanks.

You need portable DAC/AMP, most DAP are weak for full size headphone

Okay, I am pretty sure this has beed discussed before but I am not able to find it.
How do I install USB drivers on the Sony NW-ZX2 so I can use them with my DAC (Meier Audio Corad Daccord-ff)? Thanks!

I don't believe you need any windows drivers. You would need the proper WM to USB cable to use the ZX2 as a source for your external DAC.

Which I have. My ifi DAC works fine with it.

FWIW, here's my thought on the ZX2 + HD700 pairing:

TLDR: Good.

Great tip. Thank you! Now my Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro really work a the ZX2.
Stangely the Sony original music player has a boost, but poweramp player has not. Anything in the poweramp setting (Alpha build 703) I could do to have him also use the boosted way?

Sorry man, I don't know much about poweramp as I never used it. Don't remember reading anything about it on this thread either to be honest..

The disabling of sound enhancements only affect the stock player as far as I know, not any third party apps

That's probably accurate as if I am listening to Tidal or any streaming app you have to turn the volume up a lot higher than the stock player
