But I think the built quality doesn't come close to the ZX2, only the WM1 series has the same built quality to the ZX2, with that being said, the built quality is still good.
I actually prefer the build of the ZX300 as still premium materials (I prefer natural Aluminium colour rather than Black Anodised too) but gains a non-glossy screen coupled with size/weight benefits. If it cold only have built-in Tidal streaming like the AK70 and two microSD slots plus inline control support like the Fiio X5III it would be perfect.
I do like the leather look on the ZX2 but the smooth slight textured rubber on the ZX300 is more in keeping with the ZX300 smooth/clean lines and looks more modern. Black anodised coatings look great when new but once you start to loose the colour from scuffing on the edges you'd wish you had the solid silver colour of the base aluminium.
I'm loving the Sony Kimber with my SE846's. I'm finding it a beautiful cable with great mmcx connectors, low profile 4.4mm plug with Sony marking plus cable is really flexible/durable and comfy around the ears with no microphonics. Looks fantastic too. Volume with no Gain only needs to be around 50-70 dependant on music.
The stock balanced cable with my HD660S headphones doesn't look the audiophile part, but apart from being too long at 3M is also great from SQ perspective. Need ZX300 on High Gain at 90-110 volume dependant on music but does drive then nicely balanced (SE bit too week and only just usable needing 120max on smooth classical stuff).

So 4x longer than a Mojo ! (based on my experience) Or 2.5x longer the my old Fiio X5III. (they could drive more demanding headphones though). I'd say 150 ohm is the limit for the ZX300 if its just down to impedance.
Never use EQ myself. My main use will be with my SE846's and likely volume under 60/120 No Gain most of the time too.
The update didn't enable MQA pass-through in DAC mode from Tidal PC. I do hope they enable this with future firmware rather than just having MQA playback of tracks on the player itself. Still sounds excellent anyway as DAC to Tidal.
Right? The official case is miles above other 'official' cases for electronics. I've not once felt the slight irritation like I do with other devices: to tear it off
And you can still see enough of the bare device, to admire it.
Also, I feel it is a nice look to wear the device in case in one hand with the strap over your wrist.
