Chocolate sorry my note 4 like to auto pick when I type.
Hello everyone, I own the sony zx2 and I used it with my jhaudio angie, well I felt I did not get what I am after, which is good dynamics and bass.
Since I own the zx2 do you guys recommend me buying the sony z5
I listen to electronic music mostly
Cheers
Even if you turn the bass of angie to max, still cannot satisfy you?
The Z5's are great, but have you actually listened to the A3? Besides being made of plastic ( Still very well made may I add ), it's almost identical sounding. Z5 has a little tighter base and a bit more subdued Treble. I have both but only because I got the Z5's for $450 brand new and $175 for A3's also brand new.
when it comes to portable audio I refuse to use anything that would overly compromise the portability due to size. It doesn't matter how good it sounds if I can't actually take it with me so I can enjoy it. PHA-3 probably sounds sublime so would be great for my home desktop setup but not for on the road. I say stick with the A1 or check into the Pono which would allow you to use your balanced cable on the Z5 and also doubles the wattage output so in effect is like have an added amp with you.
I may look at the PHA-3 more myself though but as a replacement for my desktop DAC.
did you ever have a chance to try them with a Pono? Just curious what the difference is. If it offers as good as the Pono (hopefully better) and that amazing imaging and detail it would be a end game DAC for me.Well well, I was getting a good deal on the PHA 3 so I caved in and got it. What a world of difference it makes on the Z7 and Z5. Mind blown, absolutely!
Unfortunately not. The Pono is hard to come by here in Singapore but Sonys are all around and the service is good so tend to go for the Sonys. I'm in another world though. If only they had made the PHA-3 slightly more portable.did you ever have a chance to try them with a Pono? Just curious what the difference is.

Hi,
I just want to ask that can you show me where to buy the A3 with 200 usd. Thank you.
Got lucky on both times on EBay. Made an offer and the seller accepted.
Yaa, I just found out that it is so hard to find a used Sony XBA Z5 or even A3. If anyone here want to sell please pm me. Thanks
