Mines arriving in Monday . I choose it over fiio x7 II . I still can't find comparisons with the fiio and other daps like astel and kern ak 70 II though. And whats the dac on Sony anyway . I got it it sony's but should I take the s master hx is the dac actually . It seems like it is not just a chip as sabre for example. I have at the moment fiio x5 II and want this to be upgrade ,not downgrade .By the way mine was order from accessoryjack black version
No dac in a class d amp, the magic is in the LPF in the output stage.

wow, that's tough set of choices. I'm thinking blue or red just for a change of pace.

If the extra colours were more of the muted variety like the nw-A40 colours I wouldn't have such an easy time choosing between all of them. With those extra bright colours displayed here, I would confidently pick the black one again.If the ZX300 was available in other colours, which would be your favourite?

Indeed it may come as a surprise to some but not all audio gear is American, Chinese (or even Japanese)

Correct, british audio has been well know for years, i like tube amps for the reproduction of natual and ballad music
Anyway, found the first mod for the ZX300, as my chinese isn't good, don't bother asking me how good it is, and what has been done.

Can someone help me with how to use the usb dac mode not sue exactly what to do, I am using a macbook, and changed the output via preferences to the zx300 but still nothing.
Also, does the zx300 use a 3.5mm trrs like the zx300 or just a standard 3.5mm

@AvijitSingh It uses standard SE 3.5mm TRS and as for the DAC mode using PC .. you need to turn on DAC mode on the main screen of the zx300 and connect it to the PC and everything should work as normal.

I love the sound so much after 200 hours I'd be afraid of any changes the mod might make. I mean I can't think of anything I'd like done better. Good deep fast bass- check, liquid and detailed mids- check, extended and detailed highs that are natural and not grainy- check, a nice wide and deep sound stage- check, insane layering and space and positioning- check. Excellent timing and prat and dynamics- check. Excellent natural timbre- check. All delivered in a very 3d ish but very cohesive way. In other words it's so easy to pick out separate instruments and vocals in their own 3d space, but it's still very easy to get lost in the song as a whole and not analytical at all. Very musical I guess you could say for want of a better term.
Ok I guess you get the point.
Oh maybe one thing, more output power.
