  I've said this before, but please Sony:  release this in the U.S.  That will be the only way I buy.
 
Thanks to all for providing impressions.  I'm getting bored w/ my RWAK100 (after having it since early March, I think).  I used a Sony Walkman cassette player when I was kid, and a Sony Disc Man when I was in graduate school, so I feel like going "back to my roots" with my next DAP purchase.

I'm with you on this.  Sony walkman (middle to high school) > discman (undergrad to junior) > minidisc (junior to graduate) > Sony X1060, A867, Z1070, and F807....  Sony please release the ZX-1 in the USA.

I still have one of the old portable FM receiver powered by a triple A battery.
 
The sound quality of the direct headphone output is better than any high quality portable DAC/AMP I have heard till date.

What a shame you are missing the disman :eek:

Whats better about it?

I use a Neutron app as main application.(It too drain batt T_T)
When I want to change/pause/play track, I have to change it by touch operation.
But ZX1 has Hardward buttons so I don't need to turn screen on for changing track every time ^_^.
 
BlueTooth function is also great sounds.
Better than my previous Z and Samsung Note II.

Hi Jeff , thank you and I will follow later on your suggestion

I just try what Jeff recommendation as follow :
Source : sony WM ZX1
Dac / Amp : Centrance Hi Fi M 8
Iem : sony XBA H 3
Cable : USB to USB A wire world ultra violet to hi Fi M
USB to DAC Sony to Sony WM ZX 1

Sound quality
High : more refine and better clarity , it is not harsh at all ,
Cymbals more natural and detail
Mid : more sweet and natural
Bass : better in detail and very clean bass sq , better impact as well
Separation : wth hi Fi M8 improve
Soundstage : more 3 D like you feel in big concert hall

Conculsion : so far excellent synergy between Sony WM ZX1 and Hi Fi M 8 use USB dac function

IMO

Picture will post later

 
Many thanks for trying this combo Rudi.  I believe there will be many purchases of this DAP thanks to your testing.  I was far from the only M8 user interested in this combo.  Now lets hope for an international release...
 
FYI, that means it should also work with your Theorem.

I love the details from dock than 3.5" jack since previous Z.
The sound quality of this dock impress me so much.
