Not had time to do do an extensive test on mine I do like the new UI though very nice with the touch screen .. initial comparison to my zx100 they seem to sound similar from the headphone out great mids and a nice slamming bass the ZX300 has a better soundstage to my ears ..now the balanced output it seems is where the magic is not tested yet I don’t have the cables...I like the external controls on the ZX300 so much better ...anyway that’s my little hands on

Had quite some hard time to figure out and make DAC work. Might be usefull as W might not give the right driver.

I am stunned by the quality through DAC (USB-PC) and to me the sound is better as through the standard DAP. Using XBA-N3BP.

Don't you have some latency issues though?

I have enough latency that I notice lips don't properly sync while watching videos on my Surface pro 3.

Any idea why Native DSD only plays via balanced.

I do intend to use balanced but just wondered why.
You need to ask SONY about this~ :o2smile:
Our answer would be SONY trying to promote the new 4.4mm format, but that's only our conclusion.

You mean for music streaming like Tidal?

yes, some japanese forums reported sucess in connecting the zx300 to iphones and android phones, streaming spotify and apple music. but at the demo i attended a week back, we werent able to get a stable connection but the zx300 was at low battery mode with only 1 bar at the time
