im curious to the sound quality of the new zx 707 compare to the wm1am2.. differences between the two..
You and most others!

Don't think anyone has both yet, but can't see how it can sound better than my WM1AM2.

I will see how the A307 sounds out of its 3.5mm compared to same on my 1AM2 when mine arrives from Japan.

Despite the whole capping shenanigans (which I think is dumb too), I'm really wondering about the battery life. Will it really be around 25 hours even with FLAC?
In the Walkman music app itself with wifi/BT off it will be close I'd have thought.

Hi do you guys think its a good idea to buy the volume capped version if I am using HD650? or Campfire Holocene? I am from Singapore

No, it's a bad idea for the HD-650. I have both the 600 and 650 and tried them on the more powerful 1AM2. They need high gain mode except for the odd track. As I recall, there is enough power without high gain to simply listen, but you're sitting right at 115 - 120 with no room to move up on quieter tracks or if you feel like taking it up a notch.

Received NW zx707 Indian version today.

Initial impressions: I was able to drive ie 900 with 707 at 45-50/120 volume at high gain with balanced 4.4. fiio fdx at 35-40/120 volume at high gain with balanced 4.4

Very much impressed with 707 compared to zx 507 capped verion. very handy and pocket friendly.

dsd remastering is good. very good sound stage. very musical not much a detail oriented unless dsd remastering is switched on.

approx 8-10% discharge per hour on streaming spotify/amazon music and higher on apple music.

octa core cpu from qualcom 4x2 ghz, 4x1.8 ghz, 4 gb ram. UI is very smooth. display is above average wwhich i dont bother much. disabled some apps which i dont use.

Even India has it already and no news of it in the EU so far.

My friend Beng Yeow running Porta-Fi helped to enquire with Sony SG, and was informed of standard IEC 62368-1 / which i believe is IEC 62368-1:2018 after googling

I’ve sent an email to criticise Enterprise SG on this implementation

Has Enterprise SG responded back? Really like to know which “kind” authority has done this.
