Get it direct from Amazon Japan. Duties/VAT/P&P all paid upfront and still only cost £59 which is cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Its over £70 with risk of duty via AudioJack. Only took 3 days to arrive via DHL from Japan once Amazon shipped. Its excellent quality/design too.

Completed my rig now. iPhone 5SE is smaller/lighter but no neat cable solution with having to use the CCK adapter.

The Z5 compact is also identical size plus advantage of using UAPP. Case makes it totally practical to link with the phone. My Sony Kimble balanced is due supposedly in next 10 minutes. Spent all day on a van around local area !!




Followed your instructions and all ordered ! Super happy now and thanks again :wink: honestly didn't even know I could do that with Amazon, no more waiting for stuff in stupid, overpriced UK :wink:

Normally it's only stuff sold direct by Amazon Japan that will ship to UK, not resellers. Plus even then Amazon Japan won't ship everything.

I just did the order thing on amazon japan (dry run) and my total shipped priced for zx300 was 540 dollars, wow! plus I can buy a amazon gift card with pay pal and use that. That's really cheap! I'm still not sure if I would incur customs fees or not. But for the future for hard to find things I will definitly use it. Might order the 4.4 cable off there.

Good question, would there be import charges over a certain amount? Curious as there doesn't seem to be on the case I just ordered ?

According to what I just looked up anything under 2000 dollars will not incur custom charges in the US. So if my unit from AJ isn't shipped out tomorrow I'm canceling and ordering one from Japan. I had no idea, I just assumed I would be hit with some kind or duty tax or orther charges. Wonder if KMS 108 got his region changed to E?

nope I haven't at work and at home, both say the software is not support, I'm running windows 10 pro 64bit, I have asked a friend to bring me his windows 7 32bit PC to work tmr, and I will try again.

Update: sorted it out, apparently the location on the PC drive etc, I inserted it in upper case, should be lower case.


Thanks to all for your help and concern.

So I got a new update from AccessoryJack!! He told me that the will get the ZX300 today! Tho they will not ship it out till Monday because Saturday is a holiday or smth. I dont really know. But thats great news and everyone that ordered with express should get their player next week and everyone else in at least the weeks after!

ZX300 DAC mode not passing MQA stream from Tidal on PC but at least it is getting the first unfold from Tidal if you untick MQA, with DAC showing as high as 96kHz PCM and sounds great.

Had a poor response to my question from Sony support. They said no information on future support but they had mixed up my question thinking I was asking about ZX300 headphones!
I asked again clarifying its the NW-ZX300 DAP so awaiting another likely crap response.
