I personally think its in very early stages on development and the UI is unimpressive. If coerced I would use Media Go instead.

If your earbuds are already balanced (4 wires) then you may be able to get away with re terminating them if you can do that stuff yourself otherwise it requires a new cable with the new 4.4
I am totally balanced but even I have to adjust because they are going from 2.5mm to 4.4

I just transferred 5 DSD albums while typing this post and it usually takes that long for just 1 DSD album so...that is sweet!
Ah I see. I can't wait for my zx300 to arrive. Got my folder of music ready to transfer on to it

It wouldn't be a big deal if the 4.4mm's L- and L+ changed places...
I don't have my ZX300 yet, still hasn't shipped from the Sony store :frowning2:... Can you see if there's continuity between L- and R-, or what the resistance is? Just curious if the amps - are grounded in some way or totally isolated.

Thanks.

Any thoughts on these? If you scroll to the bottom on the second link, it has 3 versions on the same cable; copper, copper/silver and silver. Is this COLOR difference only or do you think it’s MATERIAL difference? The descriptions aren’t clear to me....

I am guessing they mean the material. It's always better to double check with them by sending a message. They usually reply.
Check this one out too:

I can also confirm that this is the cheapest balanced cable available in China with reasonable quality.

got mine, loved the matte finish of the screen, any feedback on the official matte screen protectors? im afraid matte on matte might just degrade the otherwise already perfect screen for me. I sprung myself an effects audio 2.5 to 4.4 plug, balanced is indeed something else for this.

I wonder what @Hawaiibadboy is up to with the zx300

I am/was exchanging mail with a retired engineer from Sony I met 1 year ago (finished 20 minutes ago) asking about the ZX300 and according to him the ZX uses essentially the same DAC/Decoder as the flagship Sony.

Sounded almost identical to me so I asked. Thing is really nice and I have not yet heard balanced. There are reasons why Sony has a chunk of market and it's not just name recognition. Sounds very very nice. I have only listened to DSD so far.




I took a vid the day I met him. Japanese audio geeks with 30 grand turntables...good times
