Poweramp vs Sony app : No chance sound-wise
After reading some of the above posts I tried myself a direct comparison - and I came to the conclusion: Poweramp has no chance against the original Sony app!
When I buy a device like the ZX1 my first concern is sound quality. I use my ZX1 only at home and only with a good HP (Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00). In direct comparison between the two apps (with all equalizing, sound effects etc. turned off) the Poweramp seems to sound not as clear as the Sony app. When I switch from the Sony app to Poweramp something (say: a bit of high resolution) seems to miss. And above it all I prefer the graphic design/look of the Sony app.
Don´t get me wrong: I use Poweramp on my smartphone, and I like its usability and all. Surely it´s a very high quality app. But the Sony app on the ZX1 beats it by a better sound quality. And that´s most important for me when I listen to my ZX1. Period.
