Don’t you guys find the small screen keyboard hard to type on? (iPhone 5-ish) Before I sent mine back I was making typos constantly.

But I must admit it's size and weight was glorious for a dress shirt pocket.

This is a big reason that makes pple find it troublesome to use

now that with streaming, typing becomes more of a requirement than before with say the ZX300

could potentially top up more for SA700 but hey AK releases new models much more than Sony does

Sorry I don't think this add to queue function exist.

I think if you seek a bigger screen along with a faster processor and more powerful amplification then the Fiio M11 Pro is a better choice than zx507 for streaming, you can sideload YouTube via apkpure but I think you are also limited by Android SRC:

I don’t mind the size at all. I am not trying to surf the web or watch YouTube from this device. My phone is much better at doing that.

Let's hope Sony release update to their WM series with improved FTCAP2 capacitors and improved DSEE HX AI in 2020.

Yes, I am excited but honestly it won’t be cheap. The ZX507 is truly the sweet spot in the Sony lineup. I hope Sony don’t just stop there but also up the output power as well. Would love for the revamped 1Z to drive the HD800 even better!

Come on Sony.. we all need a PHA-4 with dual AKM4499EQ current based DACs, FTCAP2, DSEE HX AI, LDAC, 4.4mm plus line out.

Yeah, lots of screen time for me on my DAP operating streaming / podcasts / downloading stuff etc.

That would be totally awesome if they can do that. The PHA3 is seriously good IMo.

There's really something magical about ZX507 paired to IER-M9 balanced.

I forget that I am wearing iem. I get the sense that I am right there where the music is recorded. The imaging and soundstage feels so surreal. You can feel the emotions of the singer as well as the energy of the band. I think this is something that you would hear on summit-fi level type of desktop gear.

IER-M9 seems to be able to project audio in a 360 degree of space.

this is definitely true

but I feel bad for pple who bought the M11 when Pro came so quickly afterwards

Similarly for potential M15 buyers

I'm feeling a little smug about my Hiby R6 Pro at the moment....but I am sure something new will tempt me soon.

lol true
those chinese companies release new gadget virtually every month)))
I heard m11 has a weaker sound than zx300, battery life is awful, and sound signature is bright.
after all holding a brick in ur pocket is not what u actually want from portable player.

True. M11 sounds better with Poweramp than with native app from FiiO. Trashy Android, brick, couldnt pair it with various Sony stuff through LDAC. I sold it, but kept FH7 for both nwzx300 and nxzx507. They are great combination to darker alternative of XBA-N3BP.

It has more driving power but if don’t plan to drive something very difficult to drive....the ZX300 is as if not slightly better. The ZX507 is better sounding than the ZX300 to my ears and it is pretty much the same size!
