The WM1Z does not have the same power as ZX300. It is rated at 250mW+250mW for it's balanced out vs 200mW per channel of ZX300. SE out is higher too.

Kind of weird to have Google Play installed and no apps able to be installed.Just saw a Sony reps reply on Amazon to a question about ZX500 supporting mqa and installation of apps. The reply was that the mqa file format is supported but the zx500 does not support installation of apps so no Tidal, Spotify or what have you. Have I missed something, thought that was the whole point of going Android and wifi ???

This is my personal evaluation on ZX300 compared against AK SR15, iBasso DX220 & FiiO M11 which I tested.. In terms of sound signature, etc.. You can ignore other models & local prices in MYR..
I have the DMP and 1Z and the two are competing in a very different market. The DMP can go head to head with a desktop amps costing upward $3-4K plus sub $2K DACs. My 1Z can’t even beat my Sony PHA-3 setup.Why is dmp only 9 lmao even below 1z!
Nice chart I like it, in my opinion zx500 will be just below 1z as its a new dap and has new technology inside and r&d lot of refreshments...
I feel sony will announce new 1z successor next year! Let see how bad ass thats going to be. Hopefully at same price as 1z please

Well, I'm one of the few people who found DMP-Z1 not that impressive after all the buzz.. Personally I still think WM1Z & Kann Cube sound better.. Maybe DMP-Z1 unit I demo'ed wasn't set up properly (eg. with track I would appreciate or enjoy) or hadn't burnt in the required 200 hours, whatever.. Even when I chat with one Sony salesperson last weekend, he said DMP-Z1 doesn't sound that good (to his liking & expectation) due to excessive internal wiring, etc..Why is dmp only 9 lmao even below 1z!

I agree that 1z as good it is it's below desktop sq I heard the difference with my own ears. Though 1z is still super good and not much can reach its goodness.
And I cant carry dmp around and definitely not at 10k $!
What is your pha-3 setup? What headphones or iems u use?
