‘Mutations’ is sounding fantastic with the HD660s

Anybody able to compare the ZX500/507 to the Shanling M6?

All of it. EQ for example, there audible differences on all of the preset EQs. Phase Linearizer works with DSD files as well, all settings make audible changes.

Playing DSD 2.8Mhz shown

All these settings make rather obvious audible changes.

Does the Dignis case make buttons hard to press or use? Also any other thoughts on that case? It's kind of pricey but looks nice.

Hard to type and disappointing battery life, especially if Wifi/BT is ON.
I'm mostly using Amazon Music in offline mode to prolong battery life.
If you're okay with that, I think ZX507 is good enough. It sounds good though! :wink:

Button use has been fine with that case. The thing that bothers me a bit is having the bottom corners and top of the device exposed. I’m honestly more interested in the leather case made my Sony for the ZX507 for that reason - it covers all of the corners

Just sold my dx160 and wm1a, the sound of the wm1a compared to the zx507 that i also have was too close to overlook the streaming service advantage and pocketability of the ZX after two weeks of comparison and actual usage. For sure Sony will come up with a wm1a version with streaming apps too and will surely get that one too, but until that time arrives, the ZX507 is a keeper for me :) I waited almost 5 months after announcement for this to become available in our country, so for sure that WM1A "successor" is about a year away at least :)
