be careful of counterfeit cards, buy from a reputable seller.
i dont think there's a legit 256gb card for 25 bucks, it should cost around $100

It appears that way for sure. I can’t seem to find a 256gb card from a reputable seller for less than 150.

When something seems too good to be true it probably isn't.

Even a good memory card can fail, but personally I prefer the confidence of knowing I have a reputable brand to ensure the odds favour my music being there when I hit play.
I have always used Sandisk, from my 128gb to a 200gb to my current 256gb and have never had a problem.

Got a few David Gilmour albums in DSD128 and they just sound wonderful! balanced out with the IT01

Same here. I've always used Sandisks and have never had a problem or failure. I suppose a counterfeiter could fake a Sandisk as easy as any other so I always buy from a reputable dealer.

Indeed, I have used Amazon because it is the best for price and shipping to my country (I know Amazon is not immune to fakes)

I just ordered the zx300 and can’t wait till they come in. I also ordered the IBasso ca-02 so I can use my alo litz balanced cable. Can’t wait to hear what all of you have been saying!

I have a 200 gig sandisk in mine... working perfectly.

Give me a bit, its just a picture telling you what caps are used by what output. I will try later but I'm sick as F right now

Ok go to page 28 of this thread to see pics and explanation of how many caps are used on each output.

Thanks for the information.

i have a couple bad sandisk card, all of them are newly released top capacity at the time. maybe it's bad first batch or something. but they always replaced it no problem asked. now I always use Samsung just because it's usually cheaper.

Samsung would be the next brand I would choose.

anyone have any recommendations for full size cans that can be properly driven by the zx300? I'm looking for something that's good for female vocal. something under $1500.

anyone?

I've always had problems with Samsung, Sandisk is ok with me.

anyone?

For open headphones I have just got the Focal Clear and it sounds great on the ZX300 even on SE which really surprises me. Also I've tried the HD660S and is nice out of the ZX300 though similar to the older HD650 it's a warmish phone so I'm not sure they fit your quest for good female vocal. For closed cans the Z1R can be driven well from the ZX300 as well but it's not a female vocal focus phone out of the box, but if you dial in a bit of EQ to tone down the bass and boost the mids a little you can make it work well with vocals.
