I am in japan this week and see that I can get the pha-2 for about ¥50,000 ($489 usd) if I show my passport and purchase duty free.
What I struggle with is if pairing this with an iPhone 4S and the onkyo app is worth it all. I would need the cck to a special cable to the Sony? Seems like a lot of hassle.
I get that this can pair with the zx-1/f88X series and it should sound great.. But at that point shouldn't the money be best spent on a zx-1 and calm it a day?
I have 64gb of storage on the iPhone 4S and would like to continue to use it after I get a new phone. Thus my original interest in looking into the pha-2.
There are so many products out there and on the horizon, etc. I have a bit of frozen buyer syndrome.
