Hold on. I read some where that the it may have a digital out. If it is through the WM Port then it may require a different cable. Not sure though but that cable should work with the F88x walkman.

Thanks seems like I missed that. Looks like it'd be a Digital Out via USB Audio since they say it'd be connected to the PHA-2......I guess that's kind of cool, would appreciate a line out more though personally as I have too many transports already and I think something like a DX50 is a much more flexible transport with coaxial/optical.

This isn't the PCM-Dxx recorder USB connectivity makes it easier to interface with other devices (car stereos, etc.). Considering WMport has always just been analog line out only, it's a big change.
I think it's just typical USB feature you can find on most android phones. Since android supports USB DACs, paring ZX1 with PHA2 makes perfect sense. It's not as convenient as spdif though.
It probably won't need additional amp for easy to drive phones or IEMs. The S-Master module is very compacted and powerful for its size and the ZX1 will get a more potent version so we should be good here. Of course, I only intend to use CIEMs with the ZX1 so I'm not too concern about plugging in Orthos or HD800 into the ZX1. If you expect desktop performance from a highend portable DAPs then it is still a long shot. Even the iBasso DX100 that I used to have failed to compete with my old but trusty PPA amplifier or Pico Power for that matter. Remember the ZX1 is fairly priced next to both the AK100 & AK120 and even the Hifiman 901.

Since it's upgraded, I would bet it will now be able to drive something like the B&O H6 which my F807 couldn't really do. It's the only set of cans I've heard in recent memory it just couldn't do much with.
