Just ordered the zx300 from Amazon. Delivery is tomorrow. I hope it pairs nicely with my ciem as they're rather very warm . It sounded great with zx2 with a trrs plug when I had it 2 years ago .

I don't think Sony meant for the 1Z to be an outdoor device anyway. All promo pictures I've seen of it are indoors, so

I use my 1Z exclusively when I run and work out, that gold colour keeps me motivated and the weight helps to buff me up. Of course mine is solid gold, I just love the smell and texture of reals gold.

Waffles and gold that's my things!

Goldmember.

On a cereal note, what kind of geetar do you have? Damn sorry about double post. I think I like the old head fi interface better.

kms108 would know for sure but the general consensus is the zx300 is less warm than zx2. So you should be golden

It's just a 'Richwood' acoustic guitar. I think it's a Dutch unknown brand, but price-quality is okay, especially for the lack of motivation I have


Oh, and don't let the name fool you: the wood's not very rich

Here I thought you'd have a martin or guild, a man with your discriminating tastes I have an 80's ovation, with the electric pick ups and the round back. I thought it looked cool when Nancy Wilson used it on silver heels- crazy on you. Ha ha

I bought a Stratocaster at about the same time, I love the feel of the strat and tele. And plus Jeff beck my first geetar was a cheap epiphone shaped like an SG. Anyways ill have to Google that brand, I thought all the dutch made were waffles and funny shoes

ok back to zx300!

I've really only heard one complaint about the sound of the zx300, and that source is whack imo. Everyone else loves the sound, especially after some burn in.

FYI

Transferring from MacBook Pro to ZX300 was TERRIBLE when dragging from iTunes to the Sony Content Transfer “window”; slow and crashed often!

Using Finder and dragging folders from there is speedy and crash-free. I pile in many folders at once and it has no issues. Album art has been hit and miss but the odd part: some of the albums that don’t display art on the ZX300 screen SHOWS THE ART ON MY CAR DISPLAY when I’m streaming from player via Bluetooth. Screwy....

Does anyone know about this company?

When you click on their 'I'm poisoned by the cables' link they have a impressive list of options for customising your cable eg locking mmcx connectors for XBA series and Ex1000 connectors for Sony.

How painful is it if you need to replace the screen protector? The protector that came with my Musashino Label has a tiny chip in it (dammit!).

Just bought the NW-ZX300. I simply could not afford the WM1Z which was on loan to me for months. I know it will be a significant downgrade but let's hope my ears will forgive me. I'm not looking to other brands because I've grown to like the Sony Walkman interface.

I put that one on lining up the bottom first, then realised it was a tad low and I had cut off about 0.25mm of the top of the screen - no big deal but after a month I thought I'd try to realign it but gave up after struggling to find an edge to get it off.

I have a friend who ordered some stuff from them and he says the QC and the overall quality is excellent.

I've never been able to compare them both in a fully burned-in state. But out of the box the difference is noticeable: the ZX300 beats the ZX100 in all departments. There is more layering, the sound feels less processed, the stage is wider and the sound is also a bit warmer. Although the latter one can be a minus if you're not fond of that. But it is definitely not a warm sound, just warmer and more analog in feel than the ZX100's sound.

Recommended buy even if you're just using the single-ended output. Unless you have a deeply rooted hate for touchscreens (but there are side buttons) and/ or the longer battery life of the ZX100 is appealing to you (but you lose output power compared to the ZX300)

Thanks for the comparison. Just pulled the trigger as it was on sale
