from the description...
 
The flagship Walkman® NWZ-ZX1 comes with 128GB of built-in memory capable of storing High-Resolution Audio content equivalent to approximately 800 songs4. It is the largest capacity Walkman® ever produced by Sony, and also allows for storage of your entire audio collection with expansion via its memory card slot. Viewing of the large library of high-quality music files is made easy with its brilliant 4-inch (854 x 480 pixel) TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile touchscreen.
 
What... there is no card-slot.

You don't mean to tell me that all you guys forgot to open the small flap on the side ...

Yes, I did, but there was a hole underneath with a rabbit in it. I was tempted to follow but I am a busy man.

Cons:

Volume capped

That remains to be seen. Volume depends not only on the DAP, but also on the earphones. Therefore the European volume cap regulations require a device to stay below a certain volume when used with the included earphones. The Japanese NW-ZX1 comes without earphones, so strictly speaking there is no need for a cap, because as delivered the ZX1 cannot produce any volume. Sounds silly, but Sony's digital recorders (PCM-D1 and so on) also all come without earphones, and they do not seem to be capped (I have not yet dared to go beyound 6/10 on my D1 for fear of breaking my ears and/or my phones...). We will have to see whether a European ZX1 also comes without earphones; if so, then there might be no cap.

Can't believe nobody is asking this question:
 
Is it possible that there will be a version with a SD card slot when it's released world wide?

Proprietary cable, not proprietary charger. The amp is plenty for IEMs, weak for more demanding headphones.

Thanks for the answer

The ZX1 has landed. Loading up some songs to give it a good listen with my SE5. I can tell anyone worried about power, this thing can drive the SE5 with ease. I haven't gone past 50% yet, other than a few songs that I had to crank it up and groove.
