I'm not too fussed at the moment.  It's at the upper end of my price bracket and happy to hang on to my X1060 until either I get another discount code or some second hand ones start to appear.

Guys,
 
I want to sync my iTunes playlists with my ZX1, so I can have the same music on an iPad and my ZX1. Is there a program that monitors iTunes and its' playlists that I can use to do this? I've tried Media Go and Media Monkey, neither seem to pick up the iTunes plalylists. I know I can manually do this, but was looking for something more automated.

  Here is the way to increase the ZX1's output power
1. Make sure the xLoud & Clear Phase was checked in the sound setting
2. Lower down the volume
3. Go to Setting / Apps / ALL / Sound enhancements / then push "Disable" 
4. Enjoy!

After disable the Sound enhancements, EQ won't work anymore.
You have to restart the ZX1 to make it work again.

 
Anyone else tried this? Can you still use an alternative EQ app?

Anyone bought from YesAsia.com? They seem to be decent value to ship to the UK but there has been some questionable feedback on trustpilot, just wondering if anyone has any recent experience to share?

This actually works

It must be a glitch, I needed about 25% less volume to reach the same level loudness as before.
 
Mad props to PPCG for figuring this out!
 
But this does change the sound of the ZX1, It gives you its pure sound without the enhancements. It doesn't sound anywhere near as refined as before, but it has more impact and energy, its nice to know this little trick to hear the ZX1 unrestrained! I actually prefer the sound after this trick, its much more raw, sound stage better too.
Thanks PPCG
