The problem is that these can only be purchased from Japan using an agent. I bought one and am hoping to have it in a few weeks. It’s. It cheap though. There are two versions, the OFC and non OFC. One is around $50 and the other around $100. These prices do not include the agent fees nor shipping. I purchased the non OFC and it ended up being close to $90 with all the fees and shipping charges. I also contacted Moon Audio and Plusssound and neither of them could get the right angle 4.4 plug. I think the problem is that they are not being sold to American re-sellers yet. Hope this helps!

It seems like you already know the answer that there are no direct resellers outside JP , so you need to get those thru agents. I think your question is how much ($$) vs how fast (time) are you willing to pay to get the right item.

I'll just stick with the $30 straight pentaconn for now then, I'm not spending 100 bucks on a connector, $30x2 was bad enough.

Apparently you have no choice, these are they only right angle plus available on the market, If you read the thread someone did mention about Acoustune ready made cable with a official Pentaconn right angle plug, cheap and good quality.

I will be buying one in November for spare in case I need to use it, I will be visiting Osaka.

344$ + free shipping is really a good deal, as it over 800$cad here. Do you guys have any bad experience buying from Joybuy?
It's not sold in Canada..

You need to realize that ZX300A is the 16GB version. Note the regular price is only $40 more. 64GB is $700/$800.

Can it really take a 400gb card ? I thought it was capped at 256gb ?
They probably only tested 256GB but the 400GB works fine in the ZX300 Abd WM1A/Z.

Does this version have english as language option? Also, do the power cord accept 110/120 voltage regulation (US/Canada)? Thanks again!
Apart from memory, no differences, these DAP does not come with power adapter, charge using USB.

Is The USB-DAC function compatible with most devices?
Any Good experiences using it with mac or windows? (And Linux if a user exists here :p)
I currently have a Fiio X5ii, and pretty sure this one will win easily in a comparison..
Choice of processor in the device and the 4.4 that i want to start using was what made me want it :)

For USB-DAC issue with Mac and PC:
I don't have PC ATM. And for USB-DAC function with Mac, it is quite bad compare to my experience with Fiio X3-2, IMO. The USB-DAC is not compatible with iTunes, it will cause an annoying pause between each second like it cannot render music out to speaker/headphone properly when using with iTunes or something similar to that. I don't really know what kind of technical issue that cause this to happen but the solution is you have to use a specific music player made by SONY. Except I don't feel as comfortable as when using iTunes. Now compare to Fiio X3-2 USB-DAC function, X3-2 works just fine with plug-and-play to OSX. Sound output quality aside, though.
