Is there a counter in the settings to tell you how many hours burned through each output?

There's a timer in the settings which will tell you how many hours the player has played music so you can work out roughly how many hours you've ran in each output.
I did 200 hours on SE and then 200 hours on balance for my 1Z.

I'm very disapointed. I didn't know that this DAP couldn't read OGG files (half of my library is OGG CBR 320).

Batch convert started with dB PowerAmp.

I don't understand Sony to not support OGG files on their DAPs but they support it with their softwares (Sony Vegas for example).

what is the tonality of the ZX300 like? if possible, can someone compare it to other DAPs they have knowledge of?

I'm not finding this in the settings. Can you tell me where in the settings I should be looking?

From what I gather, the only thing that used ZX2 would have going for it, is that it will be burned-in already. The ZX300 will need some 200hrs for each output.
And the SE is very good on the ZX300. I've completely forgot about the balanced output, as I'm so enjoying the SE, even though I've only 100hrs now.

The burn-in process on this device is very real btw. The changes in sq are quite substantial with each 50 hrs.

Ha ha checked the usage and I only have 66 hours on mine.

Wow, mine says 00003:46. I definitely haven't listened to 3 hours 45 min of music. I just haven't had time to do so. I've listened to it for about a total of an hour tops.. Very strange.

Maybe you've let it play while you were away?

did you check the counter during your purchased, mine was at 0, and the counter combine SE and balanced.

For me personally I noticed the biggest difference around 80hrs of usage. But ofcourse that differs due to different volume.

I agree, sometime the buttons are easily pressed as well.

I suppose that's possible. I didn't think so, but I very well may have clicked the screen off and then let it play.. It definitely looked brand new when I received it. Oh well, that's most likely what happened.

I'd go for the standard Sony cable if buying new to save some cash

Received the standard cable today, and using it with my Shure SE846s, WOW! what a difference! I was getting a little nervous that the sound of the zx-300 just wasn't measuring up to my previous ZX2. I wasn't finding as warm, as dynamic, and as wide a soundstage as the ZX2 through the SE port. But through the balanced output, AMAZING! Thanks for steering me in the right direction Psikey.
