You could have enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. Nothing problematic

In case anyone needs to do that in the future.

• Power off the device
• Press and hold Power and Vol- until the sony logo comes up
• Release buttons. After a while an open Android and "No Command" should appear
• Press and hold Power, press Vol+, Release Vol+, Release power

You now have the recovery menu where you can select items with vol+/- and enter with Power button

cool info thanks. While in that menu / setting there’s no way to disable volume cap or enable high gain?

Ooo this 'button'. I wonder what it does

What size and make of card are you using? I have no trouble with a 1Tb SanDisk Extreme, even though I was warned that it was not supported. The only problem is having a card that size it does slow things down.

Did you format the card in the Walkman first?

I use 512. formatted it in zx507, so that walkman app can read it.
Sony states it supports microSD cards up to 2 TB. it's reported that device works ok with 20 000 songs.
A few days ago I had exactly 1 500 in total. bow over 1700. and I am going to put more albums from RS top 500 albums.

 

[sander93]

can I use 5.1V 2.1A charging device from iPad 2 to charge zx507? will it charge player quickly? will it harm walkman?

The synergy between the ZX507 and the iFi Hip DAC is seriously great. Listening w the HD6XX now and oh man is it amazin. I can hardly believe how well the iFi drives the 6XX. It’s a revelation! Highly rec this rig!

Nice! So the ZX507 can be used as a digital transport via usb c into another DAC?

Yessir. It recognized the iFi right away with a message on screen before beginning to feed it w beautiful sounds lol. Was quite happy to see that!

I honestly have never heard the 6xx sound this great, and I've had a few much larger amps over the years, including the jotunheim, asgard etc. This little monster known as the iFi Hip DAC is soo gd!

The ZX507 is a really good digital transport source. I believe that’s because the jitter on the ZX507 is really very low.

In my experience, jitter has a big effect on the focus and imaging of the sound, if you find vocals to be smeared/blurry that means that your device chain has high jitter. If you are able for example to improve your digital transport but keeping the same dac/amp, you will find the vocals and imaging to be more focused.

On very low jitter systems with good recording and resolving iems/headphones, you will hear more of the micro variations/vibrations of the singer’s larynx.

Thanks a lot and yes, hip-dac is enough for Senns HD 6XX. But if you'd like to have something really special for these cans, just now we launched an amp tailored for them on Drop.

hi .. wonder if 507 can do output in coaxial/spdif ?

 

[Sonywalkmanuser]

It's only output is usb-c.
