Can confirm there is some serious lag using it as USB-DAC. This is unfortunate but expected. If anyone knows how to reduce latency please let me know. Would be nice to only carry the NW-ZX707 as a portable bridge and not have to bring other dongles and stuff,.

Afair there is an Driver for windows that is ment to reduce the lag.

In VLC and PowerDVD i use lag adjustment (-350ms)

Many DAPs have that same issue, not only the Walkmans, I have not found any ways to fix that so I always keep a small dongle inside the IEM case to use if I need zero latency when meeting, or watching films, ...

Hello, let me ask you a question about your Blessing 2 IEMs.
I am new to Moondrop IEMs and just got the Variations.
I noticed that the cable connection into the IEM comes off sometimes when I am handling the IEM.
Like when I am adjusting it in my ear or removing it.
When I connect it, I push in the 2 pin connector until I reach bottom.
But there is no click indicating some kind of securing the connection.
Is this normal?
Thanks !
Puertex
Off topic for this thread but I have the Variations and the 2 pin is quite tight. It doesn't sound right that the 2 pins are falling out. I would check to see if the connector in the IEM is cracked (and therefore loose). Hopefully it's the cable that is damaged as the stock cable is pretty janky to begin with. Damaged sockets on the IEM would require you to send them in to fix.

The more audio enhancement settings you turn on the lower your battery life will be and add that your also using WiFi to stream yeah you’ll be lucky to get a few hours, With my ZX-707 I get about 20 hours of usage between Apple Music and my own flac files using the Walkman app.
I keep my WiFi off , download lossless music from Apply Music, high gain on using the 4.4m balanced port and playing music from my SSD card and the Walkman’s internal storage, the only audio enhancement I have turned on it’s the EQ.

I found ZX700 series Miter case at Amazon US for $49.00. There were 4 colors shown in the pictures, but only black and blue were available for pre-purchase right now. The expected delivery date is April 23rd as of today, not sure if it would be later if bought on a later date. I bought it today.

if you have downloaded the music from Apple Music to SSD card , do you still turn on the Hi Res streaming option ?

Received my DAP from Japan today.
Amazing synergy with Xelento Gen2. Now I desperately need 4.4mm cable :frowning2:

Is it just me or something wrong with my ZX707? Why others' ZX707 Walkman Widget on Home Screen is FULL 4x4 that occupied the whole width of the screen, but mine there just only 4x3 Option in the Widget that doesn't cover the whole width of the screen?

Can anyone do check your ZX707 out if this also happen to your ZX707?

No I keep Hi Res streaming turned off, the Apple Music lossless files sounds quite good on their own and I couldn’t tell the difference between both options so I keep it off to save on battery.

I recently purchased the ZX707 and am having an issue with album art. Using the built-in Music Player app, many of my albums show album art, but I also have a good number that do not even though there's album art, a .jpg in the folder with the music files. I've tried downloading new art from Album Art Exchange and have tried rebuilding and updating the database, but nothing seems to work.

If this has already been addressed, I'd appreciate a link to that content, I've looked but haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance,
Vince

Use the windows/mac Sony music center application, there you can right click on the problematic album > properties > cover art > convert cover art.

I had to do this on both my ZX300 and ZX500 but it works 100%
